The glass has come away from the plastic bezel, so you have removed half the screen assembly basically. You need to remove the plastic bezel from the phone by sticking a thin tool between the plastic and casing (for example, a painting knife), then unclipping this from the casing

You can also try to glue the glass back on the plastic bezel and then try again whit a suction cup to separate it from the back housing.
