The screws that are loose, are the ones that hold the baseplate to the carb body.
You can only access them from the manifold side, that is the bottom.
Because three of them are completely out of the threads, lifting the carb off the manifold will make them fall out of the bottom towards the open bores.

With this much of a vacuum leak, I'm actually surprised this motor still runs.
A testament indeed to the designer of the 2G.
