Replacing front facing speaker and face ID, getting face ID back

So my friend gave me his iPhone XS and he attempted a repair and ripped the display and front-facing speaker cable. I want Face ID to work here. I heard that replacing the speaker assembly will make the Face ID not work. I am advanced in soldering. Can I take off a module and connect it to a replacement to get it working again? If so, what do I have to do?

Answer this question I have this problem too

You would have to repair the cable that is torn. The wires in the cable are smaller than a human hair and there are quite a few of them. It been done but you have to be really good at micrsoldering and have a lot of time and be patient. I have seen it done on YouTube but in my opinion I would just spend the 15 dollars on replace the setup and deal with no face Id. You will still have your password

Yes, but can I take off the Proximity sensor and Ambient light sensor and put those on another OEM flex cable?

No, it's matched. It has to be the original items. Sorry
