Broken Delete Key Stabilizer Bar Bracket

The bracket that is used to mount the stabilizer bar on my keyboard is mangled and will not fit the stabilizer bar anymore. Is this repairable or replaceable?

Replace Butterfly mechanism The butterfly mechanism on one of the keys on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" with touchbar is broken. There are four small pins (2 on the left, two on the right) and one is now missing. The keycap no longer stays on, making it hard to type. I have a replacement mechanism, but I the repair shop says this mechanism cannot be swapped out and the entire keyboard has to be replaced, which means I'll be out my Mac for over a week. Is there any way to replace just the butterfly mechanism of a single key without going through all of this? I can't find any how-tos about this online (they all refer either just to the keycap or are for the earlier generation of keys.

How to re-attach a keytop on butterfly keyboard? I have a replacement butterfly keyboard on my 2016 15" Mac Book pro, and at least one key will not longer lock the keytop in place, and it keeps sliding around off the keyboard and coming off on my finger. I was told by a credible repair shop that individual butterfly keys cannot be replaced. Is there any way that I might put the tiniest drop of a mild adhesive on the center plug on the underside of the loose keytop? If so, what would people recommend?

Repairing a 15" macbook pro with butterfly keyboard with the new 16" scissor switch keyboard Hi there, I was wondering if repair shops would be able to change my current butterfly keyboard on my 15" late 2016 macbook pro with the new keyboard that's on the 16" macbook pro. And if so, what would be needed to get that done? My keyboard is without joke falling apart. Letters are falling out. And that while I've already had it replaced once. But I don't want to keep replacing it with a keyboard that is a failure in itself, I don't call that repairing at all, I call that putting a band-aid on it. Anyone knows if repairing with the new keyboard is a possibility? Thanks!

Keyboard hardware problems usually entail swapping the top case.
