Loose USB-C ports

Hello,

The 2 USB-C ports on my system are very loose.

Apple told me they are soldered onto the board and can't be fixed, does anyone know anything that'll keep me going for a few months while I save up for a new laptop.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Here's a picture of the logic board

Sadly I don't see anyway to band-aid it as the connections and the frame are just too dense

Also note the case it’s self offers friction with a set of springs. It’s possible that’s what’s failed here. I think you need to pull the logic board out so figure out if the board is the issue or the uppercase springs which are within the hollow have failed. At least then you’ll have a better idea what needs fixing.
