You can inject some of it into the screw holes or use wooden matchsticks soaked in the stuff to fill the holes before redrilling for new screws. Not sure there’s a lot you can do about wavy fiberglass. Good luck.

Matchsticks and toothpicks are soft wood and will not hold up. Go to a hobby store a get a thin Burch or Maple dowel. Drill out to the exact size and epoxy them in. Then drill a pilot hole. You may want to add some butyl rubber around the inner edge to make sure that the light assembly is water tight. You can use a flush cutting saw to trim the dowel.
