measure how thick the whole thing is, you might be able to find swiss clips that will fit over it and hold it in place. Then, remove the screws so it fits in place.
with a 1/8" glass bed, I had four- two on the front and back. I found the sides brushed against the upgrights as it moved in y axis. (your set up may vary,)
Are these screws not important?
Are they the bed adjustment screws? Sorry trying to remind myself with pictures on the internet and I’m not seeing where. Can you get a quick picture?
In any case: The bed adjustment screws should be flush with the aluminum plate and unseen/felt under the magnetic sheet. There should also be the cable with heated bed wires going to a stress relief thingy, that should also be flush with the print area/ out of the way.
Beyond that, I’m pretty sure it can all just get removed. Beds don’t move all that much so if the only purpose is to align it… definitely okay. (The clips or magnetic sheet are sufficient. As long as they don’t get bumped off and go flying…)
