It was taken apart recently. I tried to pop that in place,it pops in but after I close/open the lid,its pops out

and the last time I opened up some broken plastic I founded in chassis

Sounds like something is mis-aligned or that you broke off the retention clips that hold the casing closed.
 
You might be able to replace the casing, by purchasing a dead system with an intact shell. I suppose you could also glue it, but never open again (not recommended).
