That looks to be a ‘‘butterfly’’ type fixing (plug). Like the ones used for screws in hollow/partition walls.

If so you’ll have to undo the screw & re-insert the fixing (the plastic plug bit)first, then carefully fix the screw again. It should be a fairly secure fixing…did you pull on it

The wooden floor doesn’t need fixed, it has to move according to temp & moisture

If you use supplements to move the weights, other things may become detatched over time too

Halfrauds sell small packets of those fixings (or very similar - think they are the same??) for a few pence a packet
