Don't glue anything to the LCD.

it's a heat shield.

I have done iPad repairs where they've been left out and no damage has taken place (yet)

Ok i read somewhere its purpose was to reflect the backlight, do you know if this is in anyway true?

Also in your opinion if i was to cut the sides if the shield to make it a little smaller and laid it flat, then reassembled the ipad mini, do you think i would have any issues?

thanks for getting bak to me , i appreciate it :)
