If they were my screw anchors and it is not  freezing were you are you can 
water the ground slowly over a couple of  days.That will help"pack" the 
ground.As far as some saying screw anchors  are not very good anchors I would 
disagree,in common loamy type soil and  undisturded they are as good as 
anything.I have tried to pull common 8' by  6 foot ones out of the ground 
with our 450 HP 8 wheel drive John Deere  tractor and all it ever does is 
just REALLY mess up the lawn.They are in  to stay and won't come out unless 
they rot away.I also have had cement  ones down below the frost line here(6 
feet) and they pushed out.Give me a  screw anchor any day.
