White plastic Laser arm/Laser guide stripped screw in DG-16DS2 liteon help

[frostycake]

Hey, I was replacing the laser in my DG-16DS2 drive when apparently I stripped the screw of the white plastic arm that guides the laser along the coil motor. Is there a specific size screw that's longer to compensate or is there some work around to dealing with it?

Thanks!

Easy fix, glue it in place

just a little hot glue on the underside near the screw hole will work fine

Or superglue

this is the kinda sh*t that makes me keep every screw i end up left with from laptops and the likes.when i run into this ill go to my lil box of drawers of screws and find one slightly bigger than the stock screw and use it.

An xclamp screw also works well. I've used super glue in the past as well.
