Just replaced the screen (home button would never heat up prior to screen replacement)
the bracket thingy that has four screws is screwed in (bar the last screw on the far right i lost that one) could that single screw missing be why the home button is getting so hot?
Is this a good question?

The screw missing for the right hand side of the home button bracket isn’t why the home button is getting hot.
The home button is damaged in some kind of way most likely when it was transferred from the old cracked screen to the replacement screen (basically a short circuit from the home button causing it to become very hot).
Try putting the home button on the old screen and see if the issue persists on there if the screen still functions.

Yep, i've transferred the home button back onto the authentic apple screen and it's so hot as well, %#*@! is there a possible remedy to this? the home button is genuinely so hot it is painful to physically press the button.
Yes, either a chip needs to to be replaced on the home button in this case you'll need to take it to repair shop that does board repairs / repair the home button on iPhone 7 or the screen would need to replaced by apple because they replace the screen and home button at the same time.
Unfortunately the home button is not replaceable as the home button is paired with the phone which only apple can do for pairing the replacement home buttons. Replacement ones do not work on the phone at all.
