Hi Leonard,

Here is a picture of all four screws as best as I could line them up quickly and shot handheld before my flight in a few hours ...

The 'material' on the screw at the extreme right seems to be further down the thread because as someone asked if I did try to screw the screws back in, I tried with one without closer inspection of the screws and pushed the material all the way to the back. Realizing this, I held onto the screw in my fingers and rotated the screw so that the 'material' would be back to where it was.
