I have fitted a new shower door, where you can adjust it, for when the wall is not straight, the screw holes are a little big. Now the door moves slightly within the frame that's screwed to the wall. I thought of getting some larger screws but the White plastic caps won't fit on top. What's the best way to fill the holes slightly, so the screws hold the door better. Can I gripfill the holes and once cured screw them back in?

Cheers

Get some bigger white plastic caps to go with the bigger screws?

Have you drilled the holes into the wall frames too big? or were the holes pre-drilled?
 
Run a small bead of clear silicone between the frame and the door to stop the movement, a small dollop will also secure the caps.

the frames go into the wall ok, its the ones that hold the door steady. I drilled them and then used the screws, they were sooo tight I then went with the next size drill bit, but now 3 of the 6 are too big, and the door moves inside the wall frame. I was hoping to be able to bung the holes a bit, bit might go for some slightly bigger screws and caps.

Will the silicone stop the door from moving over time, or will it, with use, give...
