Whatever you do, DON'T use super glue.  Either find the screws online or check with your local pc repair shop.  From what I figure, at least here in northern California (Humboldt County), all the repair shops up here have an E-waste scrap pile.  Maybe you can find the screws you need there?  When all else fails, try just a dab of hot-glue.  Just the bare minimum required to do the job until you can find the screws you need.

 

Good Luck.

Hot glue on a heatsink will result in... well... hot glue.
