Removing/Installing grille - W123 - help please!

I recently removed my grille to replace it with a unit from another 300D from a salvage yard. My original grille had dents in it, and the new one, well, didn't.

Anyhow - There are a few screws that hold the grille onto the hood. There are two screws that are accessed through holes in the grille and then the hood itself.

I wasn't able to put these two screws in because I don't want them to fall off of the ratchet and into the hood, and it's impossible to get a good enough view point to see any better.

Any advice?

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
