My brackets were installed per the instructions and have stayed tight for 10 years. I would try it again making sure I predrilled with an appropriate size bit.
Good luck.
All was previously installed as per Reese instructions. There is a very long Reese DC thread here somewhere that talked about the screws loosening when tongue weights get up to around 1K lbs and more. Will have to some more digging to find the right thread. I remember the particular thread discussing a few different methods of upgrading from the stock Reese forming screws along with some good pics.
