I haven't had any problems but I took a look at my X-T3 hotshoe.

All four screws are installed from inside.  If one or two fall out, they would fall into the guts of the camera and it's anybody's guess what will happen next, electrically speaking.

If you got more screws you would have to take the top plate off the camera to install them.  This, to me, is major surgery.

Sounds like your best bet is to get the screws replaced by the Fuji service center.  That's what I would do.

Good luck!
