Help me identify this part
Hi, while replacing screen op Iphone SE (5S) I have a part I dont know where to put. I replaced a completely broken screen so the part comes from eather front facing camera or home button. The part is small from rubber and quite flexible.
Many Thanks!! I am waiting to put it back together until I know where it goes.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Hello Alexander, Sam is correct. Your phone will be fine without the light sensor gasket.
This part often falls off during screen replacement due to the fact that it sits in a perfectly-sized slot on the original lcd frame, but may not fit in the replacement lcd frame. Occationally the molded plastic parts on an aftermarket screen will be off by a fraction of a millimeter here and there. I see this often right where the gasket fits between the lcd frame and the front camera catch.
So if you want, you can open the phone again and install the gaskey where is belongs. However, if the space looks too small, just leave the gasket out. You are better off fitting just this light sensor into an over-size space than you are trying to force the sensor with gasket into an under-sized space. Only put it back if it looks like it will fit snugly - don't risk smashing the sensor.
