Apply a few drops of adhesive remover or high-concentration (90% or higher) isopropyl alcohol to a clean lint‑free cloth or coffee filter and wipe all residual adhesive off the frame to prep the surface for the new adhesive.

Without peeling any liners, lay the adhesive sheet over the frame to determine its orientation.
-
-
-
Grab the large tab in the bottom corner of the adhesive sheet and begin peeling off the liner that exposes the side that sticks to the frame. Don't remove it all the way.

-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to press the adhesive into place all around the iPhone.
-
-
-
Lift the pull tab in the top‑right corner of the frame to peel off the top liner and remove it.
-
-
-
Once the top liner is removed, there should be three narrow liners on top of the adhesive with pull tabs near the bottom edge.
-
If you don't see these pull tabs, you may have accidentally removed the thin liners in the previous step. Be careful not to touch anything to the exposed adhesive.

-
Set the back glass on the right edge of the iPhone frame and use one hand to hold it in place.

-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger or your finger to connect the back glass press connector.

Use a tri-point Y000 driver to install the 1.0 mm‑long screw securing the wireless charging connector cover.
