Are they using an Allen screw to secure the trigger guard?
That’s the only thing I can think of...

If it's not what @HansGruber has already mentioned then the only other screw I can think of would be the tension screw under the grip that is used to tighten the upper and lower receiver if there's any wobble. Aero Precision lowers use this same feature.
Is there nylon on the end of the screw?
This screw is accessible under the pistol grip and you may need to remove the grip to access. Be careful if you remove the pistol grip because the safety selector spring and detent is under pressure and its best to do this with the receiver upside down while keeping pressure on the grip. When the grip screw is removed lift very slowly or you may lose the small spring from your safety selector.
I was actually working on putting together another Aero lower today.

They do have a set screw for the trigger guard and that's probably what it is.

A picture says a thousand words.

My guess is he’s looking at the
Accu-Tight screw that can be adjusted to remove the play between the upper and lower. The Allen head can not be seen without removing the pistol grip. It has thread lock on it from the factory so it’s position should be good.

I got up this morning to clean my Saint Edge Pistol after putting the first 100 rounds through it yesterday. Separated the upper and lower, there is no visible Allen screw visible only the
Accu-tight screw. (Blue dot) in picture.
It looks like it’s loose but it’s not.

Mine are pins not screws.
Looks like your hammer pin screw is completely missing. I'd call Springfield for a replacement. Maybe try putting some blue loctite on the screws when putting them back in.

I wonder what was first the pins or Allen head screws. This is my lower both sides.
