When I did it, the metal part didn’t pop out and stayed in. I just lined it up with the screw hole on the upper right side as the metal part also had a hole. I assume it’s to bridge something. Hope this helps.

You can find batteries at MacSales (Other World Computing) by going to Shop All > Batteries & Battery Chargers and selecting your exact model Mac from the list. If you have questions you can chat with them directly to make sure you get the exact battery for your machine as not all batteries are the same.

As always, you’ll need to calibrate the new battery.

Hope this helps.
