Hi,

due to technical problem my screen has been replaced by apple.

the person who fixed this could not make the lid perfectly aligned with the body and it is about half a milimeter leaning left.

It is not effecting the functionality but you feel it when you touch with your fingers.

I do not want to resend it to apple as I think they will accept to repair since its a very minor cosmetic issue.

I want to align this myself, I watch screen replacement videos but there are too many steps I believe unnecessary for only alignment.

can I just loosen the 3 hinge screws, align it and tight them and close it ? without playin with cables or battery or wifi ?

Honestly unless i'm looking at it wrong that seems extremely minor. And i have terrible ocd with things like this.
 
I can't even tell what you're talking about. Computer looks perfect to me. But if you're not happy with it, send it back, demand that it be fixed properly. Heck, they may even replace it with a newer model.

If you look at picture closely you will see top lid is slighting protruding to left from the body. You will not notice unless you look for it or you drag you finger from left pard of the side up to down.
