[Zuvrem]

I was opening the pc to clean the case from the inside and then when I reclosed it there are parts that didn't close for some reason idk its still a bit open from the outside and it works perfectly but my parents don't like it how can I refix it again lmao

As @Moonzystated above, pictures would help a lot. Im guessing you mean the side panels? The back panel to be exact, cause its the one people usually have most problems with unless the case actually got good cable management.

Its probably just all the cables that block it from fully closing.

Likely it's using a tab-and-slot type setup.  You need to line things up precisely and slide it together.

tidy up the cables at the back a lil bit, make sure nothing is being pinched

 

try to flatten it as you move it around, then align the side panel properly to the notches and slide it to close it (usually how it works)
