1. A self-aligning component for an enclosure of an electronic device, the self-aligning component comprising:
- a body defining a cavity extending from a first end of the component to a second end of the component; and
a rear member;
wherein the second end is engaged with the rear member in the electronic device; and
wherein the body traverses from a first position to a second position when a tool engages and actuates the rear member.

Abstract
An externally accessible component in an electronic device is described. The component may be installed within an enclosure without being properly aligned with an opening of the enclosure. A tool external to the electronic device may be inserted into the component and into a rear member located behind the component. The tool may actuate the rear member in a manner that actuates the component to move in a direction toward the opening, in order to align the component with the opening. A method of aligning the component is also described.
