Golden streak under nut is camera flash reflection onto fretboard.

Feel bottom side of screw holes to make sure their surface is reasonably clean;

The original rubber washers would deteriorate and "glue" themselves to the bottom of the screw holes.

Cut off the ends of a Q-tip to use as pilot guides for the pickup screws going back into their body holes.

Cut-off pieces of surgical rubber tubing is often used as pickup height tension "springs";

They're easy to trim to a correct median height that can still be adjusted.

Carefully holding the pickup in place, pull out the Q-tip pilots and insert the screws, one at a time.

Installing the tailpiece is a no-brainer.  The screw reaches deep into the butt block,

so if needed, toothpicks can be used to tighten up the hole for the screw threads.
