The little metal washer on the stem prevents the knob from going too far down the stem, and you don't need to reef on the screwdriver when tightening it.
This could also be a problem:
You sure you've got a genuine Moen handle that fits properly?

It is a Moen part yes.
I tried the acrylic I got on Saturday with your suggestion and the video Wormius posted when I screw it on all the way it moves very tight, but when I loosen it a bit it rotates all the way and around now.
I am just worried it will snap again in that video he posted that other handle another piece that clamped down on the stem.
Is it ok to leave the screw not super tightened like you said?
