Hello, I installed a new SSD and the front of the case won't close completely. There's maybe a 1/64" gap. It's symmetric along the front edge, so I don't think it's the new drive, which is located on the far right of the main board. Suggestions?

Here is the Service Manual:

See p. 34. When you removed the bottom cover there is only one way to put it back. You have to hook some clips at the front and then click the back down. If you put the back down first there will be a gap across the front where the hooks are not under the lip of the base assembly.
