You can replace the top cover with a new one, but be aware that this involves a near complete disassembly.

I would provide the part number, but you have not provided the system SKU or product number.

I notice that you provided two part numbers. That adds to difficulty in researching for the proper parts and sources.

There are videos available on YouTube that show how to replace the top cover.

Just to show you the scope of the operation

The 15-ce000so model series does have differences that require some top covers to be very specific to the laptop configuration.

HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years.

It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..

Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.

Method #2: Press the power button and immediately tap the F10 key to invoke the BIOS. In the Main section, you will find the Product number or Product ID. Post that in your next reply in your thread.

Method #3: Press the power button and immediately tap the F2 key.

Method #4: If powering on is not an option, take a look at the bottom of the laptop for the label with the product name and product number. For a desktop look at the rear for the label.

If your laptop has HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI version 10.3.0.0, there is a System Information section that also has the Product ID.
We need that information, along with the installed Operating System information to help you.

my bad, it seems like we misunderstood each other and the image didnt attach

heres it i hope it loads this time

 Edit: the problem is purely decorative, also heres the id and model you requested 

 P. S: changing the cover case is not really an option, i’m hoping to seal these with my hands, any help with that would be really appreciated.
