My Nitro 5's (an515-55-53e5) screen has been wobbly, so I took off the bezel and found that I'm missing two M2.5x2.5 screws on the left side. I've looked online and found replacement screws, but on the other side of the laptop, I found golden pieces under the screws. They look to be washers, but I can't seem to find them anywhere online, let alone to purchase. If anyone knows where I can find them, please help me out!

    There are no "golden pieces under the screws. They look to be washers" listed in the Nitro AN515-55 service guide, the below screws are the only screws related and listed to the LCD screen. Just substitute those washers with similar washers.

    @ForzaPVZ

    The golden pieces that you found are the threaded holes. Those pieces stay on the plastic mounts but break off over time because of the stress from opening and closing the laptop. If those plastic mounts look fine, you can place the threaded holes inside them with superglue (careful not to drop the glue in the thread). If the mounts are broken, you will have to replace the LCD back cover.

    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!
