CHESS KNIGHT PIECE

The M6 Wing nut continues to turn.  I'm New to OS.  What constraint(s) stop rotation turning.  The wing ears are tapered.  The dimensional jpeg is the correct constrained Knight Piece.

    Try using the fastened mate instead of the cylindrical mate.

    I prefer using snap mode, it automatically selects the fastened mate.

    I placed the mates on the parts before they were imported into the assembly. I also placed a mate at the origin of the assembly so that I didn't have to use "fix".
