go take your cab light down for a second

I had to take the dome light down so I could drill another hole in the roof of the truck today; installed an air horn for the hell of it... Anyway, I've done this probably three times but this is the first time I've run into trouble; there are three screws up there, the top and far bottom ones screw into wires, where does that third screw go? As far as I can tell theres nothing it screws into, just wondering if I lost some piece of hardware maybe, of if that screw serves as a ground prehaps?? Just trying to fix this as, the way it is, the light never shuts off...

The third screw just goes straight into the roof.
