Conclusion

Is it possible that the screw location diagram is incorrect? On my g8 ee it seems that the longest screw (the orange 8 mm?) Goes closest to the screen hinge and the other 4 screws are identical size (the 7mm?).
In the diagram, the longest screw (orange) is shown as being located farthest from the screen hinge. But I've also seen a YouTube video possibly corroborate this guide's screw information, differing from the 2 G8 EE models I checked in person.
