I attached the drywall panels using screws but some screws didn't find their target so I had to remove them. Removing them created holes with a bump on the perimeter of the hole. To explain it another way, the drywall sheet's paper is indented away from the drywall board creating a bump. so while I can fill it with drywall compound but the bumps make it not smooth. Is there a tool or technique to fix this ?
Yeah, it's called a hammer. Whack the high spot into a depression. It takes practice. If you only have a few, use the ROUND end of a ball peen hammer placed into the empty hole, and press hard, or use a board to tap the other head of the hammer.

The hammer works. The handle end of your drywall knife works. Anything that make a dimple works. As a newbie you may want to place a utility knife blade about a 1/4" into the hole and held at a 45 degree angle to the wall and rotate it 360 degrees. Kinda like cutting a hole in the top of an orange so you can get the juice out.
