While swapping hard drives on my macbook, one of the black rubber guides on the side came out with the drive. As a result, when I reinstall a drive, the drive doesn’t sit right and the machine doesn’t recognize the drive. Is there some way to get these brackets back in place? The machine is a macbook white 13 core duo 1.87
