- Now it's time to get rid of that clear film on the adhesive packaging - just peel it off!

Step 2

Place the glass panel face-up, then rotate it so the lens holes are on your right side - easy peasy!

Now, carefully align the camera and heart rate sensor holes on your phone with the adhesive tape. Take your time, you got this!

- Pinch the adhesive from both ends and line it up with the back glass. - Gently press the adhesive down onto the glass.

Step 3

- Give the tape a good press with your fingers to make sure it sticks securely to the glass.

Step 4

This will only tackle those pesky minor misalignments. If you're finding yourself needing to chop off more than half of that adhesive strip, it's time to hit the reset button—take off the tape and start fresh.

- If your adhesive isn't quite in sync with the panel, grab an X-Acto knife and carefully trim those edges to perfection!

Step 7

- Grab a trusty pair of tweezers and gently peel away any leftover adhesive from the midframe. You're doing great! - Next up, let's make those adhesion areas sparkle! Use some high-concentration isopropyl alcohol (at least 90%) along with a lint-free cloth to give it a good clean.
