So while I was replacing my iPhone 5s screen with my iFixit kit (plug) I accidentally tore off the grounding sticker on the front camera. Is there any way to put it back on? Do I have to buy a new sticker and/or camera? Thank you for any help!

(Also the adhesive is kinda gone, is there a solution to that?)

I'm not sure if you actually need it tbh. But I have no idea of how to put it back on.

I also realized once I ripped it off that I didn't even need to peel it off in the first place so RIP me x2.

Yeah I was kind of wondering if I could just put it back together without it, I'll look into that more before I buy anything replacement parts.
