Remove all traces of adhesive and debris from the phone's frame. Clean the adhesion surface with high concentration isopropyl alcohol (over 90%) and wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth.
If glue or glass remnants are left behind, the new display will not mount correctly and may be damaged.
Lay the adhesive strips out to get an idea of where they go.
Peel off the clear plastic backing from the large pre-cut adhesive strip, exposing one side of adhesive.

Peel one of the end adhesive strips from the clear plastic backing.

Once aligned, use your fingers to press the adhesive into place.
Repeat the procedure for the remaining adhesive strip.

Continue reassembling your device until you are ready to attach the screen.
If possible, test your screen's functionality before sticking it in place.
Peel and remove the green plastic liner from all adhesive strips to expose the screen-facing adhesive.
Align and set the phone screen on top of the adhesive.
Use your fingers to squeeze around the perimeter of the phone to set the adhesive.
Apply a few books worth of weight on top of the screen for an hour to help the adhesive bond.
