Keys not sitting flat after cleaning

I recently received a late 2013 MacBook Pro that had something sticky spilled under the keyboard. I removed each key individually and cleaned both the keys and the scissor mechanism with isopropyl alcohol. This seemed to make the keys feel like normal again, but there are a few keys that aren’t sitting perfectly flat like they were before.

It’s a bit difficult to see in photos, but it’s much more apparent in real life. Here’s a photo of the left command key, where one of the corners is a bit higher than everything else:

I’ve tried swapping keycaps and switches around, but that hasn’t seemed to solve this - the issue appears to be specific to those certain locations on the keyboard. Is there anything else I can do? My main concern is that this is going to lead to delimitation on this display because those keys are sticking up slightly higher than normal.

Thanks!

Oof! Delamination is a possibility... That Command key that has the corner sticking up - are you able to physically lift that corner up more? It looks like the keycap isn't seated down correctly to me.

There is one side that has 2 little L hooks that need to go under the scissor mechanism, then the other side is a Clip that snaps down on the other side of the scissor. I have a feeling one of the 2 L didn't make it all the way under where it should be and that is the cause of your problem.

Wore case is that the keycaps were removed a little rough and the post that goes into the L is bent from forcing it off. If thats the case, then you might be able to bend them back, but more likely need to buy new scissor parts.

Last idea is that the Metal U that goes under some of the larger keys like the command, shift, enter, delete - are not aligned correctly. I always put the metal U in the hole first, move it to the border then back it off by about 1mm. Hook the L s in to place and then focus on clipping the U all around while the other Clips will fall into palace naturally.

Let us know if this resolved it! Best of luck
