Where does this part go?
I successfully changed both the battery and screen of my iPhone X. After putting together everything back, I noticed this part. Where does it go?
Is dit een goede vraag?

It's one of the display clips. Probably from the old screen. It may have snapped off when you changed it. Or it was broken already if the display was damaged.
The new display will have its own. And even if this was broken off the new display (which I doubt). It has many around the edge and if you replaced the adhesive liner as well, your screen should be in place quite soundly.

Hi,
If the new screen assembly didn't have it already, it looks like you may not have transferred it from the old display assembly to the new when you changed the screen.

See Step.28 onwards in the ifixit iPhone X Vervanging van het scherm guide

This is a welded part, it is not possible to transfer, however it is not critical either.
@jayeff Those brown lines are welds.

@jayeff, yeah, actually you can see the two clips at the top of the screen; I downloaded the large version of that image and they show up on that much better. Here they are, marked.
So yeah, that mystery part is definitely one of those two clips that broke off. You guys called it!

Hi @dadibrokeit,
Actually I didn't pick it ;-)
If you look at the image I posted I pointed to the clip? near the flex cable connector in the middle and not one of the two that you highlighted
