I know this is a bit late, and you might not need the advice, but whatever... You hit the nail right on the head. Tightening the screws on the bottom fix this.
I got an XPS 13 a couple weeks ago and had the exact same problem, same spot, everything. Tightened the two closest screws to the creak with a T5 screwdriver and the creak went away immediately. I don't know if there's some reason these screws are a bit loose, if it's a design flaw or just loose quality control, but if you have the right screwdriver you can fix the issue in about 20 seconds. I also went around and tightened all the other screws, just in case.
