Hello,
My 4 year old laptop's screen hinges are loose. The screen wobbles around when touching it. When opening the laptop, the top plate pops up. I have to put it back in place each time. You can see an example in the videos.
Video of top plate popping up:

I have no real idea and how to fix this. I opened up my laptop to see if anything is wrong, but I don't really see the issue. The back screw on the right side tightens, the one on the left side doesn't tighten anymore.
How the wobble looks like with the parts removed:

The part on the top plate where the right screw goes seems to be broken too. I don't think this causes any problems as the right screw can still be tightened: [https://imgur.com/TyeftmH|https://imgur.com/TyeftmH]
Does anybody have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks!
