Re: Fuji XT3 Hot shoe missing screws?

Here are two related threads from the past:

2019-04-06 > "Fuji XT3 and hot shoe problems..."[1]
2019-10-13 > "Fuji xt3 hotshoe broken"[2]

... but neither seem to suggest a solution other then sending it to Fuji for repair (which would be _the_ solution for sure, and most probably the best one... unfortunately).

As a thought, without any idea if possible at all - but can`t you just replace the missing screws with any fitting ones, simply screwing them in from the top instead?

Still, as mentioned already, having the lost screws being free somewhere inside the camera (even if temporarily stuck and not interfering) may not be the best situation to stay in.

It does seem as a weird design choice, those inverted screws.
