Replace the Camera Protection Lens

Hi, I noticed there did seem to be a video on how to replace the Galaxy S5 Camera glass cover. My brother in law replaced one a while back but the camera never focused right, so since I got my iFixit tool kit I decided to try and free up whatever glass was stuck inside and replace the cover.

I tried almost everything from canned air to pushing a brush inside to bopping the phone to knock the glass loose that must have been inside, finally I took my fine angled tweezers and tried literally pushing the lens around by not touching the glass. I even got pretty firm using a bit of pressure. That did the trick, at least for now.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Is there a procedure somewhere for this? And what tool should I have used to dig under the lens cover?
