Screw coming out of motor arm.

Got into a slight accident with my mini today. Everything seems to be fine aside from this screw thats coming out of one the motor arms. Anyone know what is could be and if it would be an easy fix? Thanks.

Rotate the arm closed, you'll see a screw on the top of the arm joint that was previously hidden by the body shell.
Has this pushed through or been damaged ?
These screws (top and bottom) hold the motor arm onto the body joint

No that screw is completely in tact.

I'd take off the arm and see if it's one of the screws holding the joint to the body.

I took the arm off and the screw came out of the black bracket that holds the arm in place. I replaced the screw and will test fly after work. Hoping everything goes smoothly. Thanks for your help.

Might need some strong locktite, it looks as if it stripped given the amount of plastic residue stuck in the threads
