The only way to place the 3 and 4 buttons on your Dell Inspiron N5050 keyboard is to disassmble the laptop. However, you have to perform this carefully since laptops have small parts which could be damaged easily. You can also ask a computer technician to the disassembly for you. I provided links to the video tutorials below on how you can disassemble your laptop.
