I'm new to bicycles and I got this bike off FB marketplace and I can't tighten the fork screw enough to take the play out of the front forks.

I believe I missing something in the headset assembly but the frame have been painted over and I have no idea where to find a full headset assembly.

Measurements I have on the frame

int/ext of the top = 42.56mm/50.48mm

int/ext of the bottom = 44.76mn/50.30mm

thank yoou
