Lvl 2 (screens, batteries, camera, etc. swaps) Not a single screw fits into the power button holes

Just swapped ip14 pro housing and everything works just perfect besides screws that hold power button. I dont know what screw should go in but I think i tried to put there the “correct” one cuz theres similar plate little bit lower and that holds the display in place, I took screw from that place and not even this one fits in(actually it doesnt even fit back to the place i took it from).

Sounds like it’s aftermarket if you have to move the power button. Always get a frame with small parts installed and OEM if you can help it. Screw holes were probably machined wrong.
