I would recommend that you read NEC 250.8. What you are showing is a code violation as you need to engage at least 2 or more threads. This is why manufacturers dimple the metal hole out the back of the panel to allow enough metal to obtain at least 2 threads.
Doesn't the ground bar you installed need to have a ground wire running from it back to the ground on the main panel? Do you have a video on doing this?
If the sub panel has an existing ground bar on both sides of the panel can it be used with a neutral and hot (circuit breaker) wire on either side of the panel for example you run out of grounds on one side where the breaker is attached can you attach it on the other side that has empty spots. I have an extra 10 gauge wire ground that I guess you can double up to the last ground on the same side as the neutral and hot. Also in this situation 10 gauge is way over kill for the current (no pun intended) connected devices which are low power audio equipment. Audiophiles can be ocd😂. Seems like a dumb question but as my moniker states I'm still alive and well at 71 and would like to stay that way. Thanks in advance.
Hi I’m electronics not electrical. Just curious. Do this for a sub panel so you don’t have two different grounds? What I mean is will the main panel and sub panel use the same ground after this? And why would you need for that to happen?
neutrals and grounds need to be separated at a subpanel in case there is a fault. you dont want a ground fault going back to the main panel on the neutral wire

Do you have to run a ground wire back to the main panel, or can you add a ground rod at the sub panel?
Yes and if sub panel is outside or different building than main panel it needs a grounding rod.
Could you make a video on how to wire an LED strip with a driver to a dimmable light switch?
we have a series on that. check out our playlist
Before you removed the green screw from the horizontal bonding jumper, did the green screw also bond to the metal box/can?
Doesn't the ground bar you installed need to have a ground wire running from it back to the ground on the main panel? Do you have a video on doing this?
yes - we dont have that video yet
What size copper wire to attach to the ground bar on main panel or can it go directly to the ground rod
depends on the service size
The ground bar doesn't get connected to the ground on the main. Panel or the ground rod?
this is to separate the grounds and neutrals on a subpanel

did he say 10/32?
he used an 8/32 to mount the grounding bar ? shouldnt it be 10/32???
