Did you by any chance use the little srew-in part for the shutter botton?

I presume you mean a "soft release button" for the shutter? I do not use one, but I am curious that you ask, since it seems so specific. Is there a known correlation between soft release buttons and shutter button failure on Fuji cameras? (I am asking this seriously, I hope it's coming across that way!)

The reason I am asking is that I used the soft release also in the beginning (cause it looked "cool" ). Then one day on an x100v I somehow managed to snap it right off. Fortunately, the camera was fine afterwards. But it made me think and I didn't use soft relase buttons ever after. With a soft release button, it is well possible that the release button experiences a different kind of forces which makes it fail.
