I am not the most careful with my phone and have dropped it quite a few times but have a case and a screen protector on it so no extreme damage has been done. Recently I dropped my phone and now in the top right hand corner there is light coming out from under the screen and when I press down on the screen in that area it makes a pop/clicking sound. What do I need to do to make these problems stop?
Is this a good question?

The glue adhesive has give. It never was that great and alway was very susceptible at that corner on the 5S. only option would be to try and get some glue in there and then clamp it down until it sets. Normal superglue won't last long but I recommend glue called E8000. It has a superfine nozzle that will allow you to get in there and apply some without taking the screen off.
However you will have to clamp it with some plastic market stall type clamps at that corner after gluing as it takes 24hrs for a full bond .
If you leave it as is then dust wil get into your camera and it wil maybe also just fall off completely so best to get it done as soon as possible

This is a common issue, the adhesive between the glass and plastic frame has come loose and separating. A screen replacement will be a straight forward solution, but if you'd like a "quick fix" just get a small amount of super glue on a toothpick and apply a bit between the glass and plastic frame. Make sure not to adhere the screen assembly frame to the metal housing of the phone.
