The sensor folds over the ear speaker and you should see the imprint of were it's supose to go. The little clip holds it in place which is why it springs up and looks out off place

in the past i replaced the power button flex cable which didnt work... later on i took my phone apart because i forgot to put the clip on the sensor we already discussed, since that moment the power button started working... i have no idea if these things are connected? for some unknown reason my power button nolonger works again could the sensor have anything to do with it because i still dont feel like i installed it properly it always springs up if it wasnt for the logic board holding it down. the clip doesnt do much. i hate to have to buy another ribbon so soon i know for sure i didnt damage it and its connected properly, i tried reinstalling ios etc

That is the light proximity sensor. The other piece is the clip that holds the sensor in place. You need to make sure the sensor is pushed in all the way and then lock the clip into place. This should not have effected your LCD from not turning on at all. Check your connections after you have properly put the sensor back into place.
