I get on great with them. They are different to passives, but not better or worse. I reckon I can get most of the tones I need, clean or dirty.
I actually think this thread should be a general EMG/Active guitar pickups discussion, there are some good posts in here. I might amend the title.
I see...
Looks like the side tab has completely snapped off.
What you can do, if you don't mind the way it looks, is to put a small washer around the top of the screw so that it catches more of (what's left of) the pickup tab. It'll get wedged between the pickup and the side of the pickup cavity, and hopefully you'll then be able to screw it down a bit more without it popping out.
You can also consider taking the pickup out and thinning down whatever it is underneath that is pushing it up (probably sponge or surgical tubing) so that it's not pushing the pickup up with as much pressure.
