New display assembly won't lay flat

I’ve had this problem twice now and cannot for the life of me figure out what’s causing it:

After display assembly replacement for the iPad Mini 4 the new display will not lay flat on the housing. it pops up at the lower right hand side as if something is pushing it up and the adhesive will not hold it. At first I thought this was the fault of a bent frame, but after much shaping and reshaping, I’ve ruled that out. the frame is immaculate. I then went through and checked the routing on all flex and antenna cables, which is also perfect. What is causing this? I can do an iPad digi repair in my sleep but this one has me stumped. Any input would be a help. Never had this issue with Mini 4 repairs before, but now seeing it on the second device in as many weeks.

Answer this question I have this problem too

I recommend using b7000, ( you can use it with what ever adhesive you currently use , make sure you clap or tape the screen down for 30 min so the b7000 can seal to the screen n frame) Also you do not need to use allot this is strong liquid adhesive that drys fast. Good luck

I've never had this issue with the Mini 4 until recently and I have done this repair more times than I can count on two hands. I'll look into b7000, but I feel like this device should be able to be repaired with the normal adhesive. beginning to think this is a parts issue, but waiting on new displays to find out for sure.
