Hinge Issue

Inspiron 15 3000 purchased in July 2023. About 6 months ago, the black plastic bracket around the screen has become unattached at the lower left corner. This laptop is gently used by a senior and never dropped. I realize that this is out of warranty, but is this something I can fix myself and if yes, what is the part number for the replacement? Thank you.

It's usually the hinge mount (plastic chassis) that needs to be replaced, but disassemble the system to verify what's broken.  If you need a link to the service manual, post full model number (Inspiron 3501, 3593, etc.).
