The mounting screws online are different than those in my computer. Look for those attached to the black plastic tabs sticking out at the edges of the battery. Not all of them contain screws. If a screw is on one of the metal connections exclusively and not on the black plastic of the battery, it is not a screw that you touch. It's one that holds down metal shields or structural elements of the laptop. Two of the screws shown in the picture are either not part of the battery or were different in mine. For example, if you look carefully in the picture of the battery connections with the circles around them in this article, the center of the three on the far right narrow side is actually not connected to the battery at all. Look carefully.
