I am also not sure if the screws should line up. But as I first purchased they were all lined up.
Maybe needs more tightening but I'm scared to ruin those screws.
I will try to ask at a Cartrier store about it and most importantly that the screws become loose. And also if wearing it 24/7 is OK to maintain the bracelet especially when taking a shower or using lotions.
When my classic love bracelet was new the screws lined up — but then one side because completely loose and luckily I was in a car when it became obvious it was falling apart. I took it back to cartier and they put it back on and now the screw matches on one side but not the other. I learned on this forum that is completely normal for the screws NOT to match. So just make sure yours are tight or take to cartier to look at 
I haven’t taken mine off since then and wear 24/7 (and don’t intend to take off) and they are fine in the shower, with body lotion, cleaning, work, etc. A few scratches but you will get those no matter what! Just make sure Rie screws are tight and keep an eye on them. Hope that helped!

This is my own personal opinion, I think of your loves are two big then, the movement off the hand cause the screw to become lose. They are made to be snug fit less moving around your wrist ,this is the reason the screws will come lose. I wear two and if anything ,I have hard time losing the screws to take off, also if the ailments of the screws inside the grooves too isnt aligned will cause it to become lose, I HOPE I DIDNT offend anyone ,I think this most time the problems, I hope this makes sense ,this is my experience I've had it's like puzzle screws needed to be lined up inside properly then you tighten one side and then the other going back forth even amount of times I hope this helps

My 2015, new screw system, 4 diamond Love bracelet has come off in my lap while driving, and also once on the bathroom counter while applying makeup after a shower. It loosens everyday, even when worn alone. I am vigilant about checking screws multiple times a day and tightening them accordingly. If I lose it I won't be replacing it as it is too common now.. my husband wanted to give it to me, so it is sentimental.
Ps. I have put it on properly screwing on one side, then the other, back to the other side, etc every time.

I'd highly recommend getting the purple Loctite thread locker, so far my screws have stayed perfectly put after I applied it!
Have you brought back to cartier, I know yours very expensive, and I understand sentimental thing too, maybe defect in the screws system, I would defiantly bring it into store to have check,I'm sorry about your experience, like anything sometimes there something wrong with the inner locking mechanize not aligned up inside right,

Hi Kindness3. No, I haven't had the opportunity to have the bracelet serviced, but I intend to the next time I'm shopping in NYC. Unfortunately, busy life precludes me from close proximity to any nearby Cartier boutiques during regular business hours. ..
I had one LOVE + JUC + Panther bracelet for a couple years, wore them together and the screws of the LOVE never became loose. Then I got another LOVE to wear together with all my other bracelets and the second LOVE started getting loose, I guess is the way two loves bang against each other? Cause I never had the problem when my first LOVE was with the JUC or Panther bracelet. Anyways I went to the boutique and they put what I call "glue" on both and they are really tight now and have been for months.
I total understand what you mean I had to mail mine because im.so far from.store, I hope you get there soon before crazy holiday shopping begins, have wonderful week to you ♤♤
I'm curious, does your first Love have the original screws? I have a Love I purchased in 2006/2007 and the screws come all the way out as do the two halves of the bracelet. I received a second Love for Christmas in 2012. After wearing the bracelets together for years I one day noticed the screws on the newer model were loose. Before I could get to Cartier to have the issue corrected, the bracelet fell off and was never found. The problem is with the newer model. I can't speak to why some people have no problems with the newer model while others don't. Cartier is aware there is an issue and they haven't addressed it successfully. Putting glue on the screws before tightening them is not the answer when the bracelet in question costs 6,000+ dollars.
