Corrected now. Here's a picture of the 2 screws showing the screws side by side, with the shoulder on the gold screws to prevent overtightening them on the plastic and crushing it. So the difference is the shoulder, not the length of the screws. The screws are actually the same length, but the shoulder ones are labelled as shorter because they're measured from the shoulder? I'm embarrassed that I didn't see this earlier. This shoulder is unneeded on the back 4 screws that screw into metal, and could even prevent the screws from tightening enough on the metal portion of the handle. Interestingly, I would highlight that these "shoulders" are less likely to be effective since the screw is being tightened into a plastic insert, and not metal, and thus can still be overtightened if overly enthusiastic.

Note that the threads are pretty much the same, so you won't wreck the plastic insert by putting them in wrong. Mine still had lots of purchase when reinstalling them correctly.
