So i wanted to replace the screen on my Dell and now after everything is screwed in the screen is really loose. I have now tried installing the old screen again if maybe the current one is thicker but same thing is happening. I don't really know how to describe it so i uploaded an video here.
That would mean the hinge mounts (back cover) are the issue. How much money you want to throw at a system with a total value of under $50 is a question only you can answer, but there is a plentiful supply of working used systems for that -- and plenty of parts available (try EBay for both).
@ejn63 Is this part supposed to be moving like that? If not do I put some glue under there? I have gotten the hinge out on the other side and it doesn't seem like anything is broken.

Hi
My opinion is the screw is "moving" and therefore not tight enough.
A shim/padding would be my suggestion or a washer initially.
As @ejn63 states it is tricky to tell from the video(s).
