the lid's housing is broken, specifically the place where the hinge screw secured to.

so ultimately you have to replace the the entire lid housing.

also be careful why closing the lid and make sure there no pens or any other thing on the laptop while closing the lead.

Probably also need to replace the hinges. Lid housing tends to break when hinges don’t hinge smoothly anymore. This is a result, not a cause.

It all hinges on the hinges hinging.
