You're welcome!

It's unlikely that the hinge can be tightened given the way the mechanism is designed. It's nothing new, here's a comparison picture next to a spring mechanism for a flip hinge out of another phone. (Some old Nextel flip phone, I just had it lying around)



The TP2's spring appears to be inserted onto a shaft which is pressed on by some sort of mechanical press, so you'd have a hard time placing it back on the shaft after you managed to remove it.
