FSA 18E02: EGR By-pass valve replacement

Got my EGR replaced a few weeks ago. I wish I would have read this thread first and laid eyes on the 2 screws for peace of mind. It ended up taking a day and a half. Then a couple days later it threw code P245B. Took it back in and the vacuum line had come loose so it must not have been properly reinstalled, but all is running well so far.
 
The warranty might provide financial liability comfort, but it doesn't cease my imagination from picturing a screw hiding in some nook or cranny in the intake just waiting to get sucked into the cylinder at the most inopportune time like 100s of miles away from any dealership pulling a camper on a family vacation.
