How to fix power button again after accidentally removing it

So İ accidentally broke off the power button on my Air and when İ tried putting it in İ may have lost a metal piece and now it wont work

İ also have another Air with no OS and a cracked screen

Should İ salvage parts and then put the missing keys from my old housing and then use it that way or take the screen off my Air with dead power button with SSD

That mac has important stuff in it

İt has very old pictures that İ want

Or should İ ignore because my old 6 Plus has the pictures too

Keyboards keys are delicate! I would focus on swapping out the damaged parts to the good upper case system (broken screen) or just replace the MacBook Air 11" (Mid 2013-Early 2015) Upper Case part. Basically, transferring the parts to the good upper case. Here's the guide MacBook Air 11" Mid 2013 Upper Case Replacement
