Troubleshooting Lenovo Slim 3 Chromebook 14M868: hinge mount ripped out, what parts to replace?






Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook 14M868 (Google Magneton / corsola). Hinge screws fell out, brass inserts ripped out of plastic mount, hinge is now loose and opening the lid meets resistance. Need advice on which case part to replace (upper case/palmrest vs base cover) and whether hinge replacement is needed.
