Has the #'s 1 21130
I need to replace my circuit board, but the replacement one I got was too big and didn't have screw holes in the right place. Any recommendations on which one I should be looking for? I need the screw holes to mount it or it will touch the metal.

The photo in the OP is of a 6300's fuse panel as seen here:

But, obviously THAT board is obsolete and no longer "available", you have to use the aftermarket "replacement" 6300/7300 board which is not OEM and is pictured in this photo from Best Converter.
Obviously, the OP did not buy fuse board from Best converter and the board they got is DIFFERENT enough that the mounting holes are not in the same place.
What board they bought?, don't know since they didn't post pix of that board.
If OP would have bought the "kit" from Best converter, they would have gotten a new fuse board, but, looking over Bestconverter website, they do not show that board for sale as a separate item..
Here is link to fuse panels..
HERE which just shows a simple 10 position buss bar with no fuses.
OP should try contacting Best Converter to see if they can get the correct upgraded fuse panel that fits, otherwise they simply just need to do some surgery to their panel to make what they have work.

Ok, so that one has single red pos and white instead of single blue pos and white that go to the DC panel. If it is a 6300 panel, jumper the two pos terminals and put the red wire on one of them.
Correct, but I am interpreting that the OPs current issue is they broke the original fuse circuit board when replacing the converter and the replacement fuse board they ended up is different in size and the mounting holes are in different places which do not line up with the original mounting points creating an electrical short between board and the converter box.
Not to mention sounds like they are now unable to close the converter panel door due to fuse board not fitting correctly in place without shorting.
They may or may not be able to find the original fuse circuit board and may have to adapt the replacement by removing the old mounting hardware (spacers) and moving that hardware to new locations that they will need to drill out.
Depending on design, the original mounting spacers may be "PEMs" which will be damaged during removal process (those are not reusable).
PEMs require installation tools to install them correctly.
If PEMS they will need new spacer hardware, the nylon spacers I posted up the thread can be used if the OP can find ones that are not too tall, they may need to search around for the correct length spacers.

Yes, but the issue is the 6300 'split'-- DC fuses of the 6300 between ones that need the battery as filter and the others that don't. You want to put the pos wires in the right places. if you use a 6300 panel with a deck mount converter that has its own RP fuses, you jumper the panel's two pos terminals now that all fuses are getting clean power.
Don't know for sure any of this applies to the OP's choices--why that panel doesn't fit. Maybe it is not even a 6300!
OP changed the converter section..

The new one I got is just a little too big. I'd rather buy something that fits better so I can close the lid.
This was the part I replaced originally, but accidentally broke the circuit board when I was working on it.

CLICKY LINK FROM ABOVE
Pix of converter the OP installed..
A WFCO WF-8955 3 stage Switching converter which does not require a battery for filtering or regulating..
OP can use ANY fuse block that they can figure out how to fit into the convert box space allocated for the DC fuses..
Is the picture you posted the new circuit board you bought to replace the broken board?
I found this one that looks similar other than it has two more circuits..
found HERE that one is for Magnetek/Paralax 6300/ 7300 series converter panel.
You might be find exact replacement if you search for the name and model of converter panel box you have.
However, your fuse block may have been discontinued and if that is the case you may need to use retrofit fuse panels which will not be a direct fit and will require some modifications to fit.
Barring the searching, you could try contacting BEST CONVERTER
Otherwise I do have several other suggestions, there are add on ATC fuse panels you can use if you have the space and depth..
These are nice since they can be surface mounted directly to metal with no electrical isolation needed..
In the case of converter use, you use one of the fuse positions for the converter fuse and the stud would be the battery connection.
That one is a Blue Seas so it is a bit expensive.. Found HERE
Another version..
If you need a negative termination you would need to do some digging but there may some of those types of fuse blocks that offer a negative termination also.
