Set/grub screw found laying on print bed mid way through the print, where does it go?

In the middle of a print I noticed a small(maybe .25 inch length and half that in width) set/grub screw laying on the print bed. Print was still going strong. I cancelled it just to be safe. Only set screw I could remember was the one holding the extruder gear in place. I checked that and its still there. I browsed through the instructions again online, but must be missing where this could have come from. Unless its totally random and fell from somewhere else and didn't come from the printer. Any help pointing out where else there might be one that I am forgetting to check would be great. Thanks!

The only ones I can think of are on all the servos, but only the extruder one is ever above the bed.

Most likely the screw which holds the thermistor in the heat block.

Don't over tighten when replacing.

Coincidentally I just had my thermistor set screw fall out last weekend. easy to re-install.
