Rega RB300 Troubleshooting

I recently upgraded my RB300 tonearm with the incognito rewire kit and have learned from experience that it would have been better to have this done by a professional (especially since I've just voided the warranty). It was extremely difficult removing the rubber boot that housed the cartridge leads especially since the instructions said to push it INTO the arm tube!! What I ended up doing was removing a small, critical screw from the tracking force adjustment knob by mistake that I can no longer screw back into place.

Basically, my question is what are my options? I have no idea how to get the screw back in and wind the spindle back to it's original position. The knob was set to 3 when I removed the screw. Other than this, the upgrade went smoothly (even the soldering).

Any help greatly appreciated!

My tt came with a rewired RB300 arm and when I set it up I could not get the VTF adjuster to do anything. So I used a scale (which I think is better than using the adjuster).

I got ahold of the seller and was told that the spring was removed to reduce vibration. That was six months ago and I just keep using the scale to set VTF no problem.
