Help me fix my shower screen

I have one of those tempered glass swinging shower screens that fits over the side of the bath tub. It has a built-in towel rail and one of the metal fixings on the inward-facing side has popped off.
Looks like it was attached to the screw and bolt with some kind of water-proofing foam glue. Would the screw even be made of iron? I got this screen in a stock clearance deal.

I am bad at DIY, by the way.

    My experience with repairs of cheapo DIY stuff off the shelf is that I first go to a local hardware store with the broken part and ask them if they have something that would fit. If that doesn't work and I know where I got it from I will call their customer service for a replacement part, but that hasn't been a success for me lately. If that results in nothing then its time for a new solution (aka:throw out the whole thing)

    I'm guessing the screw itself is stainless steel. That looks like a vanity (not "bathroom" vanity, but "make it look good" vanity) cover for the screw and its fitting/bolt. You should be able to find replacements with a bit of effort.

    Or, just get some bathroom silicone and plop it back on.
