Yes, you do need to mount the logic board fully. There maybe one or two mount points that could be left un-mounted. I’m sure no one has made a detailed study on which ones and if its safe to do (don’t play Russian roulette).

I replaced the screws thank you Dan. Think I may be missing something else though might have been a silver piece near the power button area. It’s all I can think of since the unit is still not powering on and was prior to me disassembling
