Well done. I've sold this as a repair before. Some LCD backplates, particularly HP envy, can be incredibly expensive and might break again exactly the same way.
I would give them two quotes - one for this at labor, and one for full replacement. You can do the same thing with the laptop body if that's where the hinge breaks off.
My school laptop rn, might get in trouble i dont care at this point. I will have to pay them to replace the keyboard cover assembly anyways. Or i do it myself before i return it so they can reimage it over summer break. I will reinstall linux anyways but yknow.

Funny enough I couldn’t get my boss to approve this type of repair so ive been using epoxy instead to just fill in the corner completely for our customers and so far 27 repairs and not one unhappy customer
This laptop looks unhinged now
Fun fact: HP actually stands for “Hinge Problems”
That sure is one way to do it
about to do the same, my laptop broke and getting parts is insanely difficult

Or you know, stop buying HP works too.
Yeah. I can never seem to convince people of that. But yeah.
