The decisive moment arrived in the 57th minute when Jason Knight's forward drive led to Anis Mehmeti's shot, which Plymouth goalkeeper Michael Cooper acrobatically saved.
However, Wells was in the right place at the right time to nod in the rebound from close range, giving Bristol City the lead.
Plymouth's task was made even more difficult when midfielder Alfie Devine was shown a red card in the 78th minute after receiving a second yellow for a foul.
Despite Plymouth's efforts, they struggled to find a breakthrough, with their best chance coming from top-scorer Morgan Whittaker's thunderous volley, which narrowly missed the target.
