If that screw is close to the perimeter of the optical drive module then it could well be the right one. The module may be a tight fit in the chassis while the electrical connector on the back should also be reasonably tight (but still a push fit). I would open the drawer on the driver and then give it a moderate pull, gripping on the metal. Don't pull too hard on the plastic bezel.

If there is still no joy then it's time to look under the keyboard (that area could probably benefit from a good clean anyway).
