Broken speaker, could it be because of the contact-bearing sticker?

Speaker stopped working after I changed the lighting connector module, came to find out I accidentally ripped the contact bearing sticker on top of the speaker. where do I find the contact-bearing sticker? all of the speaker replacements i see online do not come with this.

That is just a grounding assembly which you ripped off. Your speaker main part has two gold-plated connection points and that what is the gateway to the speaker. There's nothing that gets ripped off on the way.

Try to reseat it carefully. If the speaker connection points (one of them) got broken , you may need to replace it. I found a part for you here. You can even try to flex them up if it's not broken. Once you flex and make both connector pins parallel to its tips, it gonna work again.

Regarding the part that got cut-off, use a copper wire to connect both ends and secure with its screws. It will be just fine. No need to worry. You don't need a replacement part for this thing.

That piece is the cellular antenna, I would recommend replacing that, otherwise you may have poor/no cellular signal.

That should have any direct impact on your speaker, that would be a separate issue.
