I accidentally took this part off and now I can't put it back on; the screw seems to be spinning freely.

You’re missing the lower part. It’s probably still in your fork.
Get it out, screw it on loosly and you’re good to go.
flip bicycle upside down or take off front wheel.
the wedge should drop out.
dont unscrew the bolt completely.
The bolt goes to a wedge that’s still down in your steertube, turn your bike upside down and shake it out.
I turned it upside down and shook it, but it didn’t fall
Can you see the wedge inside the fork steerer tube? If it’s not too far down you can take the bolt out of this piece and try to thread it into the wedge, and pull it out that way. A long screwdriver or stick or even a stick from a tree or something can be used to push it out the top. A magnet might be handy to keep it from falling down again, but it’ll also stick to your fork.
