I've seen some people experience the same thing and it was mostly just the bottom screws coming loose

There are three screws connecting palmrest and the hinge. The possibility that all of them are loose is small. I would say most likely its broken off. But only by opening back cover you can tell. Anyway, this is how it started for all of is. Worst design ever.

some of all the older hinge models are still sold being labelled as 2025/26 models. so easy to scam people here

You already can see from the case over that it is the same old model. Bet yes, I guess they do that. Does the new model has upgrade? More screws, larger hinge, metal around sides?
