You can only hope you have to take it all apart only one more time. Once you carefully remove the front screen assembly again, you have to determine which technique you are going to use to get the sensor functioning properly. Black sharpie, black sharpie and scotch tape, foam frame dividing sensors, lens cover over sensor, or combination of these.
