Peel off the blue liner covering the front camera cutout on the outer screen.

Support the screen with your hand or prop it up on something sturdy.

Reconnect the outer screen cable press connector.

Reinsert the outer screen cable bracket clip under the frame and align its screw hole.

Use a Torx Plus 3IP driver to install the 2.2 mm‑long screw securing the display cable bracket.

Remove the blue liner from the bottom left outer screen adhesive strip.

While holding the screen above the frame, separate one of the blue pull tabs at the bottom left corner.

Still holding the screen, peel off the liner to expose the adhesive.

Align the outer screen over the frame and press it into place.

Press along the perimeter of the outer screen to adhere it to the frame.

Let the phone sit a few hours for the adhesive to cure.
