Mine had screws with it. If I remember correctly, you don't need screws to install the mounting plate on to the CP - just drill four holes in the corners and push the thing on to your CP. Then, from the underside of the CP, you can use four screws to attach the trackball to the posts on the mounting plate. The screws will keep the trackball and mounting plate tight against the CP.
I'd swing by Home Depot to get the right screws.
