Issue after cleaning my EOS T2i Focus Screen

Hi all..

As you can see from the subject I have had an issue after cleaning my focus screen from some dust and lints.

Well once succesfully removed about 80% of debris with a blower and a Q-tip with some alcohol...

I had the the unpleasant surprise that four of the bottom foucus LED had a "halo" around them, and the center LED was noticeable dimmer than others 8 (1 out of 9).

The issue doesn't affect the auto focus system since pictures keep being perfectly clear.

..but the halo is quite annoying specially in night shoots.

(see the photo below)

Any idea what could have happened?

Is something I can fix by my self?

may have I "wrongly moved" the the focus screen from his place?

.. ;-( do I have to buy a new screen?

Any comment, idea, experience, or clue is welcome.

Thanks for your time..

(Sorry for my english - Don't suggest to sends it to a professional service since where I live (Venezuela) there aren't any)

This is what I see in the viewfinder
