3GS front panel and screen fallen out with screws still in

I have recently found my own old 3GS I tried charging and the apple logo appeared and went off numerously over many hours never powering on I assume it will need a new battery later the entire LCD started falling out from the top and the entire screen came out but the screws were left in. do all replacement screens come with new screw attachments and how can I keep the screen in if not.

You can buy replacement screws from here, no need to buy a new screen if the old one works fine. ;-)

Update (09/26/2018)

@jbb25 Tesa tape is a wonderful adhesive. I believe that 2 mm Test tape would work great for this purpose as it is very strong. Just use as much as you can to hold the screen down without going over electronics or circuit boards.

Thank you but some of the screw brackets are still in the phone rather than the screen could I screw them out and glue with fast drying super glue back on.

@jbb25 Ohh, sorry about that! I thought you needed screws. Sadly, iFixit does not sell a replacement screen so I cannot confirm or advise against what your idea is. I am skunked!

Thanks for your help anyway Aaron Ive just checked eBay and found a few adhesives hopefully I can reattach the brackets and refit the screen back in after the new batterie has gone in.
