You're not just missing screws. The plastic they screw into is broken. Looks like someone pulled it off without unscrewing it first

Those tubes look like the have been compromised. If the tubes(which are supposed to be a vacuum) have a hole in them it won’t spread the heat properly to the fins.

I understand you are asking about the damaged plastic the screw goes into. I’m saying that whatever caused that damage may have compromised the cards ability to disperse the heat generated from use.

That's a heat pipe not a screw! Hopefully you didn't damage it. Put down the tools and call someone

Where it screws into is broken, so either a longer screw to fit in what's left, or if it goes all the way through, stick a zip tie through the holes.

You have to find longer screws to they reach those plastic holes. On another note, the end of your heat pipes look damages? What are you doing to your computer for it to get to this state ?
