Based on the angle, one of the #3 phillips screws fell out.

Remove the sill plastic (the one that typically gets replaced with a gauge pod) and drivers side sun visor. You will then be able to partially pull back the long trim piece and access the screws.

You can remove the center light cover, interior light assy, and both sun visors and completely remove the long trim piece.

Or if you can’t find it locally, order it from a Honda dealer—should only be a couple dollars or less and they should be able to get in a day or two.

You might find this DIY helpful. If you are pulling everything apart anyway, maybe consider replacing with hardtop catches?
