Adhesive misaligned - Can it be adjusted?

Hey everyone, i could use some help - I recently replaced my battery with the iFixit kit and used the included screen adhesive, but I didn't realise until too late that I accidentally misaligned the adhesive on the bottom right corner, because everything else is firmly sealed, but that corner is slightly disconnected from the back piece. Is it possible to take the screen back off and realign it without more adhesive? Or will i need to replace all of the adhesive? Thank you for your help :)

Hi Brandon,

You could try to realign the adhesive, although in my experience, this rarely works.

You'll probably have to use new adhesive if you want an optimal seal. (Just remember to remove the old adhesive!)

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions :)

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it :)

I looked online and found a good alternative adhesive, so I'm going to try again soon. Wish me luck!
