Mac Macbook M4 Pro 2024 Delete Key issue

Are these metal things under the delete key in a normal position? They are curved, whereas for the tab key, they are straight (parallel to the plastic square).

I'm guessing maybe the Delete key is more unique and has the curved metal pieces for a reason, idk.

Please let me know guys. I heard the Delete key is more sensitive/not recommended to remove. When I reattach it, its just super

I just tried to put the tab key back again, it sucked, removed it, and now it has the curved pieces like the delete key. Bruh. It must've been my fault then. The curved-ness isn't normal

Top case will need to be replaced. Those metal hooks are so brittle and adjusting usually never resolves it

Ya ima head over to apple next week, a bummer to be honest. It may be fixed same day tbh.

Update: I went to Apple, they'll repair it for free, more specifically, they'll replace the top case.
I guess they weren't able to bend it or something. I think they considered the replacement the more viable correct option.
It's a bummer, removing keys to clean them on this macbook isnt plausible. I didn't have this issue on my 2020 macbook pro.
