Heat can cause the plastic in the charging port to warp which sounds like thats what happened here as now you can not fully insert the charging port to charge the unit. Unless you put pressure on it. Did you get a new screen with adhesive and a home button already on the new screen? Or did you transfer the home button to the new screen?
I have an issue with repairing iPad mini 4 screen's I have repaired many iPads but the mini 4 is acting odd. I replaced the screens and swap over the home button and solder the little cable thing thats on the left side of the home button. My issue is the power button won't work any more. But oddly it will power on and power off the unit but not lock or wake up the unit. I've repaired two of these unit and both have this same exact issue.
