I found out problem! It’s problem with new display, I tried to assembly again the old display and It closes tight.

There is IC cent to display flat and It’s not aligned, infact bump into metal shield of rear case.

Hi

Perhaps your phone frame is bent, because of this skew the screen does not sit tight to the frame

I have the same problem for mine, and I think it might be that the battery bracket may be pushing up on the screen. My battery bracket was popping up on one side while the other was screwed down and I had trouble screwing both of the the tiny screws in without one popping out. This causes the entire battery bracket to sit at and upward angle and apply pressure on to my screen. This may not be your exact problem but it is worth a try to see if that could be it.

it will be the small rectangular heatshield on the back of the new screen not alignet correctly, there is a recess on the loud speaker it has to sit in.

I tried everything on mine and it ended up being that the back was slightly bent. I bent it back into shape gently and resolved the issue.
