MacBook Pro 2019 flexgate issue

About 2 months ago my 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro started showing signs of the flexgate issue ,the screen was covered in lines and sometimes just blank but later on sometimes it used to come back with a bit of flickering.I took it to the nearest Apple Store and they told that the screen, the logic board and the casing are some of the things that have to be replaced bringing the repair to approx $2000 ,I got the laptop home and kept some book on it and it worked for somewhere around 2 months but now again the issue is back and the books aren't appearing to solve the issue either tho the Mac works fine on an external display .Does anyone have a permanent or temporary fix to this issue ?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1

Typically there is a 90-warranty on all recent work done, in or out of warranty.
