Bottom (main) mic not working after earphone jack replacement
As stated in the title the bottom mic is not working after I replaced the whole bottom connector unit with a 3rd party one. It appears to me as if the mic is not in line with the whole in the case. I cannot aline it properly as its position is pretty much fixed by the cable it is attached to. And idea what I could do? Are there faulty connector units (construction-wise) on the market? Also a little rubber seal (I guess) got lost at the replacement. Not sure if that was part of the mic or earphone jack.
Update (10/13/2017)
Thanks for the answers. I fixed the problem now:
I bought a used back-case on ebay an took it apart. As suspected, between the mic and the hole in the case there is a small plastic piece which guides the sound from the hole in case to the mic which is attached to the dock connector unit. I do not mean the mesh part.
When I removed the old unit this plastic piece stuck to the unit and I accidently threw it away. In the video you posted the plastic thing seems to remain in the case.
So when anybody has a similar problem. You might wanna check the old unit if there is still the plastic piece stuck to the mic part.
Is this a good question?

the rubber part is from the mic as it holds it in place on the chassis

Thanks for the answer. I do not mean the piece with the 2 screws. This I installed again. There was a smaller flexible rubber seal which might be needed to „guide“ the voice the mic.

Is it not working completely or can people barely hear you talking?
