If you want a screw there for better mechanical support, hardware and
electronics parts stores sell standoffs and screws made of nylon. A
snap-in nylon standoff (about the only plastic kind I've found at
computer stores) may also work, but you'll likely have to cut it off at
the bottom to get the right height.
