How to screw in the top right corner display assembly frame screw?

I can't for the life of me get it to screw in. Theres a black piece that keeps you from getting the screw driver to drive the screw straight in so it just won't go in. If you're confused as to what screw I am talking about reply and I'll upload an image with it circled.

if it's the little screw near the headphone jack, I find it heaps easier to remove the headphone jack. Don't completely remove it from the phone as the ribbons are glued to the frame, just peed them back a small amount so enough to get the jack out of your way.

When I do a repair 90% of the time I just leave it out( the other 10% ill give it a shot for 5min and sometimes i get lucky and ill get it in) because of the angle it is near impossible to screw it back in.

Here is how i've done it. I was holding the iphone head down to see the screw hole, then I took a screwdriver with magnet not to strong and, while holding the corner with one hand tightly, I dropped the screw in his hole. Then I placed the same screwdriver in the better angle possible and screw gently the screw into place.
