Introduction
Use this guide to remove and replace the rear cameras in the iPhone X. The rear camera assembly consists of two individual modules: one wide-angle camera and one telephoto camera. Both modules are replaced as a single unit.
Note: This guide instructs you to completely detach the display cables and remove the display assembly in order to better access the rear cameras—however, it's possible to remove and replace the rear cameras with the display cables still connected. Advanced readers may skip disconnecting the display in order to save time, as long as the display is properly supported and the display cables are not damaged.

So in step 21 the grounding plate that sits on top of the bracket… which flex is that attached to? This X i’m working on was used for navigation on a motorcycle trip by my client and from that point on the rear came image was vibrating. I noticed this flex is torn but can’t identify the flex it came detached from. Hope someone knows so I don’t need to pull it apart to find out before gettinf the right parts in?! Many thanks in advance
