John, What kind of screw? Can I get it at local hardware or Home Depot? Whatz it look like?

Cheap fix.
Is drill a hole through the rib so that a coarse thread gyprok screw will be free.
Then run glue between rib and soundboard, put in the screw, it has an aggressive point, and grabs the soundboard, pulling it back to the rib.
Let dry, remove screw, and drill through the board and install a dowel, if you want to be neat.
I think I used the Scaff clamps years ago, but I found the above method better.
