Ive got a pair of jesters that i was gonna mount on my JJs but i realized i have lost my heel piece screws for both heels. The two shops nearest me dont have any screws laying around so now i am unsure. Do i contact Marker?

The Marker heel piece screws are pretty short, so whatever you do, just make sure they aren't going to poke through your bases. Have a shop grind some down for you if you cant find anything appropriate.

you can contact marker directly or any marker dealer can get them for you.  The screws have to be of proper size, along with bottom of head shape to seat on the plate and the top has to have clearance for the heel to slide on the track.

Go to your local shop, but make sure they are the right fit, or else you will end up double ejecting, tearing an ACL and getting tobogganed down by Ski Patrol!!!!!nYYYAYAAAA

fix your heels, fix the problem :)

you need to get the correct screws.  Don't take the chance on puncturing your bases or the screws not sitting flush.  Have your shop contact Marker and get you the correct screws (you'll probably pay $5 for screws + shipping).  If they won't do it because they are too lazy, call Marker directly.
