Just curious, would it have been a big deal if they didn't install
this screw per code? I mean would it have made the panel not to code
just because of a neglected screw?

Yes

408.36(D) Back-Fed Devices. Plug-in-type overcurrent protection
devices or plug-in type main lug assemblies that are backfed and used
to terminate field-installed ungrounded supply conductors shall be
secured in place by an additional fastener that requires other than a
pull to release the device from the mounting means on the panel.

When I look back, your past posts all said the same thing and thank
you for the info. I guess this panel now is all up to code and all is
working fine as of this morning. Thank you a lot.
