How do I fix loose keyboard in HP notebook?

Hi, I have a HP dv9580 laptop which includes a numeric pad. Part of this numeric seems to be loose, they keys are way more noisy than the rest of the keyboard. The worst are 8, 9, -, *,/ and all the keys in the upper right corner. It feels as if something that should secure the upper right corner of the pad is not doing its job. I think there are some snaps or something that I can secure but I don't know how. Thanks.

1. I own 3 DELL Notebook PCs and have had to go below the Notbook keyboard on several occasions to install memory and WiFi card. On DeLL Notebook PCs, the keyboard slides into 2 slots on the bottom, plus one on the top left and top right and there are 2 ting screws securing the keyboard. I should also advised you to be careful whne lifting the keyboard out bec once when working with DELL Technical Support for a WiFi discrepancy, they asked me to go below and I accidently try to lift the keyboard in the top and it broke off the PageUp key and DELL sent me a replacement keyboard to install by myself. Basically the keyboard is one solid piece of electronics and my purpose was to share my experience and hope it helps you decide what to do next... Best of Luck!
