Default Headlight Screws Removable w/out Realignment?

As I was installing the new stainless steel screw kit I bought from Corvette Mods I noticed two screws on the back side of the headlight that could benefit from a swap for similar SS screws. I didn't want to mess with them until I knew if removing them would require me to line the headlights up again. Here's a pic of the screws:



Would removing these mess with the alignment or no?

Just holds the cover on no alignment required.

Nice, thanks. Hopefully they'll be the same size as some of the extras that came with the SS screw kit.

Those are machine screws, not sheet metal screws
