Tiny unknown threaded part came out during repair...what is it?

Hi there,

I was so close to the finish line! I had just laid down a new battery onto new adhesive strips in an iphone 5c, and thought I was on the road home to reassembly. I laid down the phone on my desk and a little threaded part popped out. Oh no! It was not something involved in the repair I did. I have no idea where it came from, though it seemed to pop out near the lightning port end of the phone. Attaching pictures

Looks like the screw post on the bottom of the screen.

Would that be a post that receives one of the pentalobe screws that close the case? Because I just went ahead and tried putting it back together and all is well *except* one pentalobe screw seems to have no threads to grab. It must have broken off when I first opened the phone for repair and fallen inside near the battery, then gotten bumped up and out when I laid down the phone at some point. Thanks so much.

Does the phone stay together adequately well on one pentalobe?? Seems OK for now, I suppose it will just be delicate.

It should hold. Remember how hard you had to pull to get the screen out of the frame?
