This is so hard to read, you really need to use comma's and full stops. But to your question, pretty sure it uses the same screws. You just need to use sequential tightening. (half turn one then swap to the other) until it goes in.

I could read it lol

.. Most intakes come with new little bolts.. Belive the standard ones are like little self tappers for plastic... Pritty sure you should have new bolts.. You may damage the threads if that's the case and you keep trying

The revo intake should have come with two revo supplied bolts to fix the maf.

Any engineering retail merchant should be able to sort you out if you take in the intake providing you haven't messed up the threading by using the original bolts.

Sounds like your maf aluminium plate is bent as it should seat perfectly with the intake.
