I need to replace these screws. What is the size, dimension, type?

There is no "system badge" which folds open on my Dell XPS 15 9530 (2023). It is solid aluminum, and has "XPS" stamped into it. The images published for this repair guide appear as if the bottom cover is made of some kind of plastic? Am I looking at the wrong repair guide?
