They don’t work well. Nit precise. Not a good quality

Hello, friend, the first picture is the front of the hinge, you can also refer to ASIN: B08BNLB1T7 picture.

will this it a 2017 macbook retina 12 inch?

Hello, friend, welcome to our shop! This will work for the MacBook 12 "A1534 2017 keyboard (EMC 3099), but it won't work for the 2015 and 2016 keyboards (EMC 2746 EMC 2991). Hopefully my answer will help you. Best regards! Y-SPRING
