There are two brackets or "wings" on the socket. They must be fastened to the casing by gluing or pressing/heating or something. The socket itself doesn't need to be glued.

Unless solder is "red-colored", then its glued to the board, along with (4) small soldering points via its (4) legs. There is nothing keeping the socket "connected" to the walls of the case, if its not touching it.

I took my 900 apart after my port came out, and again, its a very flimsy installation/solution. No bracing whatsoever, only its connection to the board.
