Can anyone tell me what size screws are for the bottom part of the case?

Under my keyboard is just a solid piece with no cables behind it, they all run to the bottom of the keyboard where the clips are here…it is very odd. Any suggestions? I do have a Y500 and everything else looks the same up to this point.
