Outside of Manfrotto there are a couple of websites that specialize in Manfrotto/Bogen and other tripod parts. They have the parts diagrams so you can make sure you are ordering the right part for the right version of a tripod or head.
Years ago I called the parts guy at Bogen and he sent me parts diagrams for the various versions of the tripod and head I have. All that stuff is online now but back then it was easier (and more pleasant) to talk to a human being.

I think the screws just work loose. The plastic end on the film advance lever often goes missing too which is held on with a couple of screws. Both parts are AWOL on the K1000 I picked up for dirt cheap on Goodwill. I wanted the A 50mm f1.7 that came with it. There's no reason to remove the plastic part for repairs and there is no evidence that any of the screws were touched on the body.

There are many vendors online that sell micro fasteners (tiny screws) by the piece no minimum. All you need is the diameter. If they don't have one in the length you need you can always cut/file down a longer one.
If you can find a parts list it would show what size the screws are. Thread pitch is standard on small screws based on the diameter. This size would be something like M1.7 × 1 which would be a metric screw 1.7mm diameter by 1mm long. If you were to search "M1.7 x 1 set screw" you would probably find several vendors that sell the screw.

You can find the cover with screws on eBay at reasonable prices.
