A method for manufacturing an assembly () is disclosed. The assembly () comprises a substrate () having a first surface () and a second surface (). The substrate () is at least partially plastically deformable. The assembly () comprises a supporting surface () arranged to support at least a portion of the second surface (). The substrate () is plastically deformed, thereby producing an elastic preload in at least a portion of the substrate (). The substrate () is fixedly arranged in the assembly () such that the second surface () is placed against the supporting surface (), wherein the elastic preload in the at least a portion of the substrate () produces a force between the at least a portion of the second surface () and the supporting surface (), whereby the at least a portion of the second surface () becomes in abutment with the supporting surface () over the at least a portion of the second surface (). A light source comprising the assembly () is also disclosed.
