Do i have to hear some “click” noise when reconnecting the plastic clips? I did gently push the middle of the lower case, but the clips did not reconnected (it was still easy to remove the lower case). Hence i just put screws back, and then little bit strongly push the lower case again, but there was no “click” noise eithe … However, the bottom case is completely flat, so i suppose it is ok…
