So recently I just opened my laptop after 7 years of not cleaning it TO CLEAN IT for the first time

Everything went well, I took out the fan, dusted it out, cleaned the thermal paste etc, easy life. Then when I was screwing it back in something broke off

One of the holes that you use to keep your thing in place broke off so now its just floating 2 CM off the board with the screw in it, everything else is fine though but I worry, will the other one break off too because it doesn't have support from the one that DID break off

Also I put the case back on a little bit wonky so the HDMI doesn't really work, will this affect my laptop performance? I don't really use HDMI so..

I can't tell if this is beginners mistake or extreme bad luck, can I use super glue to glue the thing back in its place? Am I foookkeedd

 
Solution
No, don't ever use glue to put them back on place. It can make your laptop not working at all. The glue will block the pcb way to distribute data and electricity. Well, you're lucky 'cause you don't break the area around the broken holes, though.

Well, if you can, go to some professionals to get rid of that.
