My panel mounting bracket snapped mid-install on a condo job

I was putting up a new Vista 20P in a condo near Austin yesterday and the plastic mounting bracket just cracked right down the middle when I torqued the screws. Had to hold the panel in place with one hand while I ran to my van to grab some zip ties and a piece of scrap plywood to brace it. Anybody else had those cheap plastic brackets fail on you like that?

Fifty installs with those brackets and not one crack, maybe you just overtightened them.
