Wife's Phone Screen Broken

My wife fell and broke her screen, we tried to find someone to fix it but had no luck. So I am trying to fix it myself, I am handy enough to do it, but I admit I have not done phones before, mostly laptops. I heated the screen, took the broken one off, the thin plastic frame came off, not sure if I did that wrong but cleaned up the glue and connected he new screen and all seems to work, but now having trouble figuring out how to close it all up. My replacement LCD screen, I just realized is "without frame" that was not an intentional choice but I can get a frame, that's not the issue and I have the "adhesive LCD tape" but I don't want to mess this up on the last step. Can anyone provide some guidance on:

  1. How do I install the frame, what order should it be done?
  2. How do I use the adhesive tape, what order does that get applied?
  3. Do I still need to use the T7000 glue (the one in the yellow tube? I have used that for other things, not sure if that is needed or not with the adhesive tape)?

I'd appreciate any insights, thank you.

EDIT: I just realized embarrassing that I did not specifically mention the model of the device, it's a Motorola One Zoom (XT2010-1)

@motoguy got a lot going on there. Yes, I prefer to change those LCD's with the midframe. Always easier. You do not have to use T7000 if yiur have the adhesive stripos, but it won't hurt. Anyhow, take a look through this document Motorola One Zoom XT2010 1 since it is probably easier than us trying to explain. Remember that they are using a hotplate where we, the common people, use a heat gun.

@oldturkey03 I appreciate you very much for the information. I think the document with the pictures will be very helpful, thank you. I did assume that perhaps with the adhesives you won't need the glue but asked because I wasn't sure how the frame will attach to the LCD and phone body with the adhesive. But good to know the use of the glue is ok too, but if I can avoid making it messy that's always a win.

Once I figure out how the frame goes on the LCD (this one happens not to have a frame, easy enough fix, its like 60 cents) but not sure exactly how? Does frame go into the groove of the body first? then the adhesive and then the LCD?

Allow me to look at the document you have so kindly provided and see if I can make sense of it, appreciate you again for the help.
