I wondered why Xbox X controllers grips were difficult to remove and also make a squeak sound when the plastic part is not closing properly but a double-sided tape should do it...

Disassembly was fine, but reassembly was a bit trickier. Removing the front casing from the chassis as in step 8 required a bit of force, since it seemed like the two were clipped together. Putting the two together, I can't seem to find where exactly that clipping connection was. I'd ignore it and move on to the screws, but it doesn't fit flush and I'm left with this narrow gap at the top that seems to be causing trouble. Any idea where I should be looking/applying pressure?

At step eight, the easiest way to separate the two halves is to use your triangle pry tool, on the sides, underneath where the handle covers are, on both sides. I thought that I had missed a screw or something but that wasn't true. Just slowly pull them apart, I used this guide to clean my pro controller, thanks!
