I've had an awful time trying to get any combination of Lite tiles and Lite connectors to work together. I'm still working on a solution for that, but in the meantime I had a bunch of tiles I wanted to mount that I couldn't align with each other using the connector pins.
I tried modelling my own custom pins. That helped a bit, but I still had trouble with them, and the more I tried to shrink them to fit the more likely they'd fail when printing.
So I hit on the idea of using snaps to align the tiles before mounting. In my case I'm just hot gluing them, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with any of the better methods.
The snap has a handle to try to make it easier to get back out, but I usually stick an allen key in the holes to work it out first.
