What happens here
Take some 3M Patch Plus Primer spackle and apply it over the newly installed drywall screw head and the surrounding area that was scraped. Use a putty knife or 5-in-1 tool to spread the spackle smoothly and evenly, ensuring it fills the depression created by the screw and blends seamlessly with the existing ceiling surface. Allow the spackle to dry completely. For deeper repairs or if a perfectly smooth finish is desired, you may need to apply a second thin coat of spackle after the first one dries, then lightly sand it smooth.
Goal: Fill the hole and smooth the ceiling surface
