    The M.2 connector will push the card up at an angle which won't give good contact. You might just have intermittent problems or you might short the card out. Just hit up a local computer repair depot or Amazon for M.2 mounting screws. They are M2x3mm with a wide head.

    Unless the screw is used to ground the component, which I doubt, I see why not? Try and see if it works.

    You may want to use tape or double-sided tape to secure the WiFi card in place, if the screw is only used for securing the card.
