iPhone 5 Repair Help

    Hello,

    Past few months my lightning port and battery seemed to be giving me problems and more recently the charging port didn't seem to work.

    I decided to do the repair myself since I never had problems doing some before, just not on a iPhone.

    Anyway, today I started the repair. All going good till I decided to put the screen back on. I noticed near the home button/Earpod jack there was a "bump" and the screen wouldn't go back on, is this normal? Or should I put some extra force down on it to close.

    One other thing, decided to switch on the phone to see if it would work. Turns on but there are faded black lines about 1" in lenght and 1/4" in diameter coming down from the top of the screen. Would this just be a connection problem?

    Thanks, hopefully can be sorted. I spent longer than hoped to spend on this already.

    Screen problem is fixed but I cannot seem to close the iPhone properly.

    Should I force it closed and then screw in the 2 pentalobe screws to secure it?

    Edit: All problems fixed. A part of the charging port was in incorrectly.
