Replacement screen not sitting in on bottom right

This is probably a common issue for aftermarket screens.

Is there any particular reason why it happens? I tried two screens from different suppliers and the same issue occurs.

Also the iphone housing is in excellent condition, no bends or dints on frame.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hey, if you check the flex on the screen that goes to the motherboard, there is a metal part on it. that part probebly hits the motherboard or anything else nerby.

see this picture:

the flex should lay as this one does a little bit from the metal part on its right side and not to high up.

I have had this problem twice before and that helped.

Hi Ben

You are one of the great sages, but if it were not so, I would say:

Something similar happened to me once. I would say it has to do with the fasteners in the frame of the screen or the thickness (too thick) of the frame.

I have also seen chassis bent in strange ways, it is not necessary a blow, with enough pressure can affect.

Another screen or reinforce the adhesive on that part could help.

Hi there is a possibility that your iPhone's rear housing is bent it's a very common issue with the iPhone after been dropped on the corner or kept in tight Jeans so it may never fit properly. you can check by placing it against a flat surface (making sure the camera is not in the way) and check if there is any gaps between the surface and the phone if there is you have a bend, sadly a rear housing is such a pain in the arse to replace even apple just replace the whole unit for exchange price which dose vary if you go to a Apple Sore or Apple reseller i would not trust a corner shop with this job.
