Mating THREE parts

I Fastened Mate pulley on a hub with Fastened Mate screws.
But when I mate the Pully+Hub assembly to the Servo Motor the Fastened Mates shift.

Any thoughts?

    Looks like the hub is mated to the pulley using a revolute mate. The screws aren't moving. It's the hub moving relative to the pulley while the screws remain fastened in place relative to the pulley. Just switch out the revolute mate for a fastened mate. Also, the screws should probably be mated to the hub not the pulley, since there aren't really any features on the pulley to locate the screws.

    @mahir Thank you for your time and attention. 
    The Hub+Pulley+Screws need to be all fixed. When I change the revolute mate for a fastened mate, the Hub shifts 45 degrees.
    Can you try it on your end?
    Also, how could I Fastened mate the screws to the hub with the pulley in between?

    I tried now to fasten mate the assembly from the other side of the hub and it works better.
    Indeed, picking a better 'anchor' edge or point worked better. I was anchoring the mate point wrong.
    Thank you for the good tip on supressing threads.
