Yup, that looks like a grub-/setscrew from one of the pulleys (gears). With the machine off you can just grab the head and move it around. You can do this when the machine is turned on as well as long as the stepper motors have powered off. Or, if you want to be more gentle grab the black boxes that ride on the exterior rods and move them in tandem. (you wont harm the printer using either technique).
While you're looking for the place to put the screw back in, take the opportunity to tighten all of the screws so this doesn't happen again. Tighten them hard.
When you put the screw back in, make sure the pulleys are all pushed hard against the sides of the printer, so that the axis rods can't move side to side at all.

S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
A year after the merger of Ultimaker and MakerBotQQ, we have unlocked the ability for users of our Method series printers to slice files using UltiMaker Cura. As of this release, users can find profiles for our Method and Method XL printers, as well as material profiles for ABS-R, ABS-CF, and RapidRinse. Meaning it’s now possible to use either Cura or the existing cloud-slicing software CloudPrint when printing with these printers or materials
