What's the best adhesive for these washer-type screws?
It seems you're trying to convey a specific need but are unsure about the exact type of plastic cement required. Nothing has been found on Amazon yet.
The duration you left it to set is not specified in the provided context.
So far it's been around 12 hours. I forgot to take some pics of the job afterwards. but this is how they're looking now:

I suspect the two on the left are going to be a problem as it's down the middle. Screwing a screw in there will probably cause it to crack and come loose.
Nope. I give up. I'm finished with it. I tried my best, but when I attempt to tighten the screws, they're too tight and end up breaking. I need a replacement back cover.
Just an off the wall thought I do believe you did a good job cleaning and gluing but is there a slight chance you mixed up the threads with the wrong screws.
It happens and there so small it's hard to see you have the wrong ones.
Amazon in the past sells the barrel and screw replacement that yes also need to be epoxied to the bottom of the laptop but they will be the correct match and the force screwing them later will not re break them out again.
I will say this those repairs are a pain to where I have at times thrown a washer in the mix with the barrels so the washer acts as an anchor under the barrel and once all done the finished repair has more structure.
It's true, I've made an error in labeling the screws. I should have kept track of which screws correspond to which parts. I gathered everything in a box while assembling, but most screws are too small or thin. The ones that fit seem to be very tight when screwed in, but they often get stuck and don't really tighten. Eventually, I can't remove them unless the resin breaks and they fall out. I had to use pliers to hold the washer and free the screw.
Regarding Amazon, if they sell the posts and screws, are they generally compatible in a single size for all laptop cases? Would I need to remove the existing parts?
It depends as with the hands on it's hard to give but general advice. I have been doing impossible repairs for over 50 years and have two sons that get extremally frustrated as I can give them a total walkthrough on something they want to repair, ends up with negative results and end up giving it to me to fix anyways. And mumble as they walk away screw you dad knowing if they want it fixed.
It's my kids way of saying you were right with out having to say thank you.
I do my repairs by a life time of knowledge of hands on. The new hands on is 3-D printing.
I can lead you to the parts and the what needs to be done but the how to make that happen is a harder request.
I might consider 3D printing in the future. Right now I work with 3D modeling and sculpting tools such as 3ds Max, Maya, and ZBrush.
I’m open to trying alternatives if there’s a better option. I won’t need to purchase a replacement case since none are available for this model.
I searched Amazon for similar posts or products, but nothing turned up. It seems they might need to be swapped with different designs...
