So I don't know if the threads got stripped or what, but not one, but both of my screws/clips holding my left rear turn signal have fallen out at some point this week.

Now I normally will be Mr. Fix-It and try it myself, but how exactly can I put these screws back in without messing up the holes in the assembly?

I tried hand tightening it by taking off my brake light and squeezing my hand between the frame and the bumper, but when I tested how tight it was at my apartment complex (I have a good 20 speedbumps all the size of baby elephants) and before I knew it, there it was hanging out of place.

Now some may say, "Try a screwdriver dumbass", well there is no room for said screwdriver. I even had a angled screw driver, no dice.

Anyone have some suggestions?

I really don't want to take it in so I can be charged a leg for something so ridiculously easy.

 

Try taking off the rear bumper for better access.

 

I'll try it later when it stops raining.

Do I need specific screws to go in where the old ones were?
I don't want them just sliding out like the last ones pretty much did, making me think they were too small to begin with.

 

Were these screws altered before you bought the car? If so that may explain why they are too small. A DIY store maybe able to help you out with correct size.
