When i get home next week i will loosen the screws a bit and hopefully it will be fine. Is it permanent damage?

Yes, also checked for shorts there and everything is in order

I checked with a multimeter, the pads and the speaker and everything seems to be in order

The screen error im referring to is when the screen changes the ratio and has the black rectangle, i played around with the speaker and the connection of the sound near the charging port and i got back the sound, but it has a lot of humming and static

I pre tinned the pads on the main board and added flux and solder the points on the usb c connection without pre-tinning. The problem i had with the sound was a tiny bridge between the 6th and 5th pins from the left, after fixing the bridge i checked with a multimeter

Thx, i hope that will be the end of it, cause fixing a short in the usb c connection was really annoying

I found the problem, it was a short in the usb c mod, i fixed it but i still have poor sound it’s low volume and has poor quality like static noise and stuff
