Do I need to replace bottom battery connector screw?

I completed the iPhone 4s battery replacement with help from the iFixit.com repair guide - thanks! The phone is working. The only issue I had during the replacement was losing the bottom screw on the battery connector. I closed it up with the screw missing because the top screw seemed to hold the battery connector in place, plus, no real option. Is there any danger to a user or the device in leaving this screw unreplaced, if anyone knows? Thanks!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Not to my knowledge you shouldn't have any issues the screw is just there to make sure battery stays down and dosent lift when dropped or hard bang.
