I adjusted the thermal paste on both the CPU and GPU, and one mounting screw bush fell off. I’ve included a photo showing the damage. Could you help me figure out how to reattach it?

In the first photo it appears as if it's soldered; consider re-soldering using tin, or alternatively apply a non-conductive epoxy.
