Top of home button won't click properly after battery replacement.

After doing a battery replacement, I noticed the top of the home button wasn’t clicking properly. I opened it back up and when I clicked, it was completely fine. Is the shield blocking it from clicking or did I do something wrong?

Was the metal bracket for the home button removed by any chance?

It could be mounted upside down. It is upside down if let's say it's a chimney shape upside down. Instead you want it upright with the chimney roof facing direction up.

The bracket was placed correctly and I have checked several times.

Can you take photos of the home button with and without the bracket installed? And also the other side where the home button connector is without anything connected to it.

Might make it easier with the pictures to figure out what may be applying pressure / causing the top of the home button to not click well.

Do you mean the touch ID cable bracket? It's not the bracket on the back of the home button since when I open it, it clicks completely fine. It doesn't click properly when I close the device.

Yep, the touch id connector bracket that clips over the connector. I'm pretty much out of ideas so pictures of the device will make it easier to find the cause.

Just put the pictures there!
