At this point I see that there are 20 people who have looked at you post, but no one has responded. Probably because your question is not quite clear.

Which marker do you have? Also, the confusing part is your reference to "plastic part" of the valve. The valve is aluminum and the screws thread into the aluminum body of that valve.

The plastic part is the power tube. There are certainly two holes through the side of the power tube through which the screws reach to thread into the power valve. Now, we need more clarification to analyze the problem.

are you talking about the hole that is plugged where the r/t or cyclone goes?

So the A-5 valve is not held by a similar screw set up?

You can get the new screws at any hardware store. I am assuming that you
are using a 98 because of the two valve screws. They are 10-32 threadded.
Just make sure you are using loctite when you replace them. The third hole
MIGHT be the tap hole for the r/t and cyclone. Just get another 10-32 screw
and use that if you are lazy like me.
