Had a similar issue just happen on my daughters pair of Beats today, managed to repair them. For prosperity and future Beats repairers, the "paddle" of metal in the left of the images needs to be slotted into the gap on the right. The two halves of the ear assembly are held in place with a screw that attached from the speaker to that metal plate. Whilst my problem was not exactly this (the screw had simply detached from the plate), to fix my problem, I did the following:
* Remove adhesive earpad with a blunt spludger tool
* Remove 2 x charge port Philips screws and 5 x speaker Philips screws (I used a 1.2mm driver)
-
* Carefully separate the speaker from the earcup and remove the adhesive pad in the centre
-
* The retaining screw for the paddle can now be removed and / or tightened as needed.
-
+
* Carefully separate the speaker from the earcup and remove the circular adhesive pad in the centre
+
* The retaining screw for the paddle is under this circular adhesive pad and can now be removed and / or tightened as needed.
To fix the exact problem as above, the screw could be removed, the metal plate reinstalled and the screw re-inserted to reattach the two halves.
I had to purchase some special replacement adhesive pads to re-attach the earpads once again since the adhesive is toast once you pop the earpad off. Amazon,, was about £6 for two adhesive pads, you can get cheaper from AliExpress if you want to wait for shipping.
