When I got a second-hand G5, it missed both the hard-drive and those special
screws.
Since they are pretty expensive, I just screwed four normal hard-drives
screws in the drive's sides, taking care that one of the 6 screw' side was
horizontal (they usually have hexagonal heads), and inserted the drive that
way.
The drive worked flawlessly for almost 2 years (until the G5's motherboard
had the infamous memory controller fault), thus I think you don't really
need anything more.
Of course, YMMV. The rubber screws are better for isolating the drive from
the computer vibrations but, being mine a liquid-cooled G5, vibrations (and
noise) were almost non-existing.

There's a spare set located within the G5 along the wall of the HD area. Look around, you should already have a set unless you bought this used, or lost them.
Best luck!
