Slightly bulging screen and clicking sound in corners of phone

I recently got a 3rd party repair of my iPhone screen after dropping it as well as a screen protector, however, I noticed that the bottom right of my phone is slightly elevated. If I push down on this corner it can flex slightly back into a more appropriate position. When I apply pressure to the top left and right of the screen it flexes slightly and makes a clicking noise.


Here are the measurements of the four corners of my phone I made with a caliper:

Top left (clicking): 8.62mm

Top right (clicking): 8.67mm

Bottom left (no problems): 8.56mm

Bottom right (bulging): 9.06mm

(These measurements are all with a screen protector)

This has been bothering me recently because of the slight difference in the bottom right corner raises it beyond the barrier of my phone case and has been scratched and cracked because of this. What steps should I take to fix this problem?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If it bother you verry much then you can either glue the screen down to the frame or buy a new screen.

My choice would be a new screen.

It sounds like the screen wasn't put down completely and snapped into place. You could try to snap it down but I wouldn't recommend doing that. If you push to hard you can damage the screen. I would return the phone to the repair shop and show them your issues and ask them to fix it. Most repair shops would be happy to take care of any issues you have. They want you to be happy with their service. And don't do anything except return to the repair shop that did the repairs. You shouldn't have to pay more a repair you just paid to have done and shouldn't have to buy a new screen. And definitely DON'T glue anything on it.
