Here’s the needed hinge parts for your system:

Often the screws are just loose, sometimes the clutch mech seized which will require new hinges.

The hinges are part of the whole screen assembly and required you to pretty much disassemble the screen completely (including the front glass panel & such). As a first step I would just recommend to tighten the screws of the hinges.

Have a look at this thread: Can I replace the hinge set only? since it’s a similar issue.

I had a look around and could only find a replacement hinge for the left side with the display cable. It doesn’t seem to be a common repair part I’m afraid.

You can also try to apply some nail polish when tightening the screws to prevent them from coming loose as suggested here: Hinge is loose how to fix?
