Possibly. If the rear piston was not stuck in place it should have 
moved forward and blocked that hole. If you then put the screw 
back it, it would not be in the right position and may well have 
destroyed a seal, or the piston, in the process. You could take the 
screw back out and look in there while you push the rear piston in 
with a screwdriver. If you see the front piston pass by the hole, it 
was probably in the wrong place. 

If you like, I could rather easily disassemble it and check it over for 
you. This is not a good thing to take chances with. If you messed it 
up, you would not have any rear brakes, or if the piston is stuck in 
place without moving you might not have ANY brakes.
