Thanks all! After also consulting with my father in law I tried a single washer to see if I could get it tight that way and it’s worked! Any electricians feel free to let me know if that was a bad idea but oven is functional and seems to be operating fine. I didn’t want to mess with the hole if I could try a simpler way first.

Did you put the washer between the screw head and the wire, or between the wire and the connection block? Between the screw head and the wire is better.

If it was me, I would ID the part number of the connection block (the black assembly) either from your User Manual or by looking online - and either request the part from the manufacturer (who probably will send it free) or order it online.

I put it in between the screw and the wire yes so the wire connector is connecting directly with the the connection block. I'll look into a replacement part but it's working right now and I can at least cook!
