Spacebar's front is popping out after cleaning? MSI GL62M 7REX

Yeah I’m having quite the day, so here’s a bit of backstory:

My laptop’s spacebar started feeling real weird, hard to press, turns out there was something stuck under it, so I removed the spacebar and removed the junk, then re-assembled it, but now I have quite the problem, this is how my spacebar looks like:

Basically, the front of it is popping out, the spacebar is working fine but it looks and feels very weird, I think I might’ve done something wrong here

(When I open it up)

I watched a few of those and follow the instructions, most of the key layouts in other videos aren't the same, I found a similar one and follow the instructions but I ended up with the same thing

One of the metal strip is connected as shown in your picture but the other one is not try to connect the other one to the bottom of space bar if it is not a damage one you can find it really helpful

The metal bars and those mini white things aren't broken and work fine

Everything under that space bar looks to be in place, All you need to do is push down on the front of it very hard while moving it around until you hear a couple clicks. You are getting the key to clip onto the front wire. Once you hear the clicks, run your finger from side long the front while pressing down hard. After the wire snaps into about 6 clips, you will be good to go.
