If they used self tapping metal screws, I would replace them with wood screws. Use plenty of dicore.
I am a little lost on this thought, very hard to find pan or round head "Wood Screws". Using flat head screws to secure bracket is not best practice. If it were me I would get some shorter 3/4" to 1" hex head screws same as used to secure 99 percent of the trim on RV's.
I would also use "enough" Dicor, not plenty as that usually ends up with a mess.
