Booster strap, one screw or two

Bought boots at a local shop, brought my old boosters in for them to install.
They only put one screw in to hold it, I feel like two will stop the strap from riding up - is it bitchy if I bring em back and ask them to fix it for free ?

I use Booster Straps with one screw and they work just fine.

I doubt it matters since all it's doing is holding them in place for when they aren't strapped down. Or so the strap doesn't migrate upwards or downwards on you. That shouldn't be too much for a single screw to hold.

However I used two because my power strap I removed had two holes in the boot from where those rivets are. All I had to do was carefully drill out the rivets, buy some binding posts at home depot, cut two holes in each strap with a hot nail (to cauterize it), and then attached them to my boot. I'm pretty sure booster strap has videos how to do this. YouTube definitely does.

If you want it done differently, just do it yourself.

Can't remember the size but they're like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-16-in-x-1-4-in-Aluminum-Flat-Head-Slotted-Machine-Screw-with-Binding-Post-815581/204274860

I currently use only one screw because the threaded inserts somehow fell out.

No issues
