Reddit mentions of 500pcs Laptop Notebook Computer Screw Kit Set for IBM HP Dell Lenovo Samsung Sony Toshiba Gateway Acer

They sell laptop screw kits for 10 bucks, if all you're missing is screws.

They'll come in various sizes, M2x2, M2.5x2, M3x2, etc.

The first number, is the the diameter of screw in metric (millimeters, M2 is the super tiny "lost forever in carpet" screw size, and M2.5 is the slightly bigger), and the second is length of screw.

Use the 2mm length screws to identify the screw size (diameter), then jump up in length on the hole until you actually hit the threads to secure it.

It'll likely be M2 and M2.5 holding it together.

I use these and they work just fine and the black tops look nice as well. Also these are definitely better than the Dell versions and Dell themselves stripped out my screws during a repair. So after I got those out and replaced them with these no problems at all.

The screws are "standard sizes" and this kit worked great for me for replacing any screws on my 17R4, even the ones that hold the main bottom plate on.

I was able to pick up a nice pack of M screws in varying sizes on amazon.

Here’s what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FTI8TM8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_hFl.BbZ6CDKGN

The top left slot (2x3) are the screws you’re after.

I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FTI8TM8 thinking it would work but 2mm seems too small, they slip right in and 2.5mm are too large to fit

Gotcha. Felt like I was readying arabic there trying to figure out what the 19DY9 Torx SCREW,M2x3L,3.6D,0.4T,Black, Base -> Palmrest meant.
