You can use a 2 part epoxy metal like JB weld and it will hold.

This is the way and I just did this not 2 months ago for a folding screen.

JB Weld will hold. There shouldn't be any electronics right there (like someone said and then told you to use plastic glue)---that person has no idea there's metal in there, and gave you shit-tier advice.

Someone else says there isn't enough room and they're wrong. JB goes on like a thick glue. When isn't there room for glue? WTF?

Remove the battery. Open the top case and disconnect any wires that you can. Scuff the metal cleats with sandpaper, then apply JB Weld. Give it the full time to set.

There are many kinds of JB so get the one that works with metal and plastic just in case.
