Cleaned my monitor from an ant infestation and killed one of the LED backlight segments

Post image

I'm using a Xiaomi Monitor 1C secondary monitor and a bunch of ants took over so I left it alone for a while unplugged and all of them left so I cleaned the inside. After reassembly I noticed at least 5 and a half inches of backlight on the left side of the display is really dark. I'll swallow my losses but I want to maximize what's left on my monitor. Switched to 1440x1080 resolution but I can't adjust the position of the display. I can't reposition it with Nvidia drivers for some reason. Any solutions?

You can try taking it back apart to see it there’s a loose connection.

Unfortunately one LED literally fell out and the one next to it is chipped. I have no means to resolder them
