Installing a Needle in a Brother Sewing Machine?

I have a Brother sewing machine cs6000i. I cannot get a new needle installed. The clamp/screw does not hold it in place. I have spent hours trying everything I could think of. I have only had it 4 months!

Normally installing a needle isn't so hard. There is a flat side on the needle that either needs to go to the back or the front when installing the needle. You need to make sure the screw is all the way out when doing this. Now push the needle all the way in and hold it in place with your hand.

Removing the pressure foot will help you if you are having a problem. Now move the needle holder in place and make sure the screw is aligned in the hole and start to turn the screw so that it hits the needle and hold this in place.
