Screws are still okay, although they are pretty worn.

Yes, I checked the cables when I closed it up, and it looked to be okay.

Look along the front and rear edges of the keyboard from the side...it should be perfectly straight. If it's not, bend it back gently.

Make sure also when in position, that it's correctly hooked under the 4 tabs (which are at the front of the bottom case).

I first thought the keyboard should be pressed under the tabs, but when I try pushing it in there is another may be 5 mm before I can close the lid (complete stop). Feels like I am going to break something if I press any harder.. but if it is as you say, then it would explain why the plastic bends like it does.
May be I can heat up the tabs a bit to soften the plastic .. feels like a bad idea tho

Definitely under the tabs mate. Here's a picture of how it should look:



To get it under the tabs, just slide it into position and attempt to slot it in, and when you feel that resistance like it won't slot in, simply press down on the front edge middle of the keyboard (right near that bottom screw hole in the picture) to get it under those two middle tabs (this is where it is sticking).
