Anything to plug the airflow in from the hole is ok. Obviously you need to unplug the hole when adjusting. The actual adjustment screw is quite deep down.

Think you mean the mixture adjusting screw mate on the metering head, idle screw is on the throttle body.
But yeah anything to plug it will do just to stop the air leak.
