I managed to break open my powerbank, there are 4 screws but those didn't really help much in opening it. I probably did it wrong.
Anyways, now that the case is removed, i can arange the batteries however i want. All i need to do is extend some cables.
If i don't do this the portable will either be thin but square-shaped, or rectangle-shaped but very thick. I don't really like either off those options so i decided to break open the powerbank.
(Here are the screws.)
I hope increasing the length of some wires wont cause any issues. I also have to be super carefull not to short anything or the powerbank (and possibly me) is done for.

One thing that helped me not to short out the battery was to drain it as much as I felt comfortable doing and then do one at a time, keeping the opposite insulated with electrical tape until the first was secured. I was still pretty worried the whole time tho

Thanks for the advice.
I have to extend the black wire, the red wire and the metal piece between two batteries, if i do it one wire at a time it should be fine.
