At first I didn't like the Viborg Schuko termination clamping feeling -like you- this to be less secure and flimsier compared to the standard termination with the wire between two plates. After using the Viborg Schukos for some time now I like it much better. The pins of the Schuko male connector are made from one massive piece of copper with a rather long hole for the wire to be inserted. You should use long crimped wire end sleeves that protect the wire and gives a very tight and good contact directly to the copper pin when tightened with the two set screws. In order to find the second set screw you have to push out the pin either all the way or at least so far so you can see it . After the termination of the wire you can push the pin back into the final position of the plug. You only need some pressure by your hand to slide the pin back and forth in the connector. I think this design is actually superior to the standard clamping between two plates. Here (for the IEC plug) I prefer to use crimped cable lugs between the two plates.
