Wii Disc Drive Help?

Hi,
Last night, fed up with my Wii's inability to read dual-layer discs anymore, I opened it up and installed my spare WiiKey Fusion so that I could play Project M (which wouldn't load off of my USB loader, but that's another issue...). However, when opening the wii, I took out the two screws holding the disc drive closed instead of the ones right above them that held the disc drive in place. Upon doing so, I felt something click and now I can't seem to close my disc drive anymore. Nothing seems broken, I think one of the plastic mechanical parts just needs to line up for me to close it again, and I don't know where to align everything. Does anyone have experience with this and know what to do?

...Didn't realize that second one was blurry as *Can'tSayThisOnTV* until after I uploaded it. Sorry.
Also, yes, a disc is in the drive, so I'll need to put it back together such that the wii knows there is a disc in the drive.
 
this is hard to explain....but

you need to move that plastic around the disk...if you look at the plastic and the metal cage, you will notice how the plastic can move within the cutaway shapes...if the plastic seems like it wont move at all, check the opposite side to make sure the little feet are not caught up stopping it from moving....

play around with it...you should figure it out...
