Possible to try threading the bolt through from the back side? Sometimes that helps with mangled threads.
exteroceptive-
Bolts do all the way through via the back side, but still just doesn’t wanna quite go in right through the front when I’m putting the face plate on.
I think the problem is these two bolts are stuck in the face plate, some bad torque-matching or bad angling seems to have got them stuck in the plate some how. It means that they don’t want to go in at a nice angle. Gonna try some grease or something, try lube em out maybe

thanks all I’m blushing
@amey it’s tartine or nothing
Bad news - think my stem is fkd.
Top two bolts will only screw in this far, it all got a bit out of hand, some mangling happened, maybe joining some pre-existing mangling, now I think stem is kaput save for sourcing a tap n die set and trying to fix them maybe? These c220 stems man, they look great but they’re so finicky, cause more problems than what they’re meant to solve.
