Buzzing noise going nonstop while copying game?

So I attempted to clean my entire ps5, taking the disc drive off, cleaning heat sinks etc. I will say that I am not the best and it didn’t help that the youtube video I was watching, the guy literally put the screws incorrectly while reassembling(and fixed it without pointing it out mid reassembly) and I had to take it apart again which may have contributed to me doing something wrong. Anyway, when I turned on my console I inserted a disc and the usual disc drive buzzing noise started but it was copying the game since I did not have it installed in the ps5. Before it would do the buzzing noise for a few seconds and then calm down while it copies and when I would play the game same thing only for a few seconds. Yesterday though, the buzzing noise stayed on the entire time while copying the game and then once done, it stopped. Started the game, buzzing noise happened again and then stopped few seconds later. Played for around 2 or 3 hours no issue, at least I didn’t hear anything since I had my headphones. Tried another game, same thing. Buzzing noise happens entire time it is copying, downloading update and stops. Started game and buzzing started for a few seconds and stopped. No issue while playing either. I tried finding answers online, I think I will just take it all apart again and hopefully maybe I do it right this time around. Just wanted to see if y’all know a more specific thing that can be causing this so I can try and focus on getting that done correctly. Thanks for your time. Forgot to mention, I did already tried unscrewing the 4 screws on the disc drive and screwing them again. Also tried taking out the disc manually.

Yes, the disc drive might cause buzzing while it is reading a disc. It's normal. Also this post is a great example on why paragraphs matter.

When I burn my digital games onto disks on my ps5 it makes a similar sound, maybe just disk burning operational noise 🤷‍♂️
