Had a look at the local well-stocked hobby/craft supply store. Not much there except for a pack of #2 x 3/4" sheet metal screws. An online check finds nothing any longer than 3/4" in any screw diameter close to #2.
I had originally taken a quick measurement of the distance between the stub of black plastic on the bulb mount assembly, and the outside of the white cover at the small hole where the tab would fit. I figured about 1 inch or maybe a bit longer. I didn't want to enlarge the small rectangular hole in the white cover, as it would mean a screw with a larger head (and thicker diameter body...) to keep it from falling in.
I can think of some more elaborate ways to fix this, but...
