What size torq-set screw does MacBook Pro 15" use?

The tools listed here MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2012 Logic Board Replacement are not helpful. I'm looking for a torq-set screw size which come in size 6, 8 or 10. I do not know the correct size for the screws which hold the Airport Bluetooth Card Bracket. The screws can be seen in this photograph.

The logic board replacement instructions seem to indicate that it uses T6:

Edit:

The screws in your image are most definitely Philips. I can't place the location against anything similar in the guides, but I'm guessing #00 based on the AirPort/Bluetooth guide:

Edit 2:

I found the item depicted in the picture. It appears to be one of the retaining clips screwed to the upper case. This one appears to be between the battery and the optical drive. You shouldn't need to remove them, they were not removed during the teardown.
