Proximity Sensor Replacement? Repair?

Since I dropped my pixel 5, proximity sensor is not functioning, I lost the always on screen since it behaves like there is smth close like it's in my pocket, or the screen doesn't turn off during a call, I accidentally press on the screen with my ear, cheek etc lol.. is there a fix? replacement? is it possible? I have an old pixel 3 unit with a broken screen, can I recover its proximity sensor and use it in case? thanks

From the looks of the repair guide, the proximity sensor is soldered directly onto the motherboard. This is not a repair that should be DIY-ed as it requires a lot of practice and special tools. See if you can find a local repair shop that specializes in micro soldering.
