Hi;

If the QR plate is all there, the long screw isn't a problem. Wind the screw 
into the camera base until it gets a good grip but doesn't perforate the 
mounting point, then tighten the separate locking knurled nut that is also 
fitted on the underside of the QR plate. If the camera is still prone to rotate 
after this, the QR plate needs grippy cork - or something else in addition.
