Bumps on Keyboard and Bezel After Reassembly

[jcdbm]

Hello, I've done some work on the inside of my ThinkPad T601 and resassembled it back together, only it seems I am doing something wrong. I've tried loosening some screws but I still get some bends on the keyboard bezel towards the screen, and my spacebar seems lopsided (happens with other keyboards as well). I'm wondering if this is a problem others here have faced, or if its just my inexperience , as it seems pretty rudimentary.

Maybe the bezel tabs didn't slide into their slots, but are sitting on top of the frame instead. As for the keyboard, could be a misplaced wire won't allow the keyboard to seat properly.

Remove the KB-bezel and check that the clamps underneath, at the LCD-side, are not bent/broken.
You need to insert the bezel at a ~30 degree angle to make the clamps fit properly.
The spacebar may just need a push on the righthand side to fit back in properly.
Or has something underneath (the key or KB) as Neil suggested.

This was it. I couldn't believe I missed this small detail, since I've worked on a T61p before and had the same issue. Thanks!
For the keyboard, I had to unscrew one of the palmrest screws on the bottom of the laptop to be a little less tight, and that seems to have fixed the problem.
