I managed to get the glue stuck perfectly the whole way around the frame of the phone without ANY smudging or adjustment.
ADHESIVE PROCESS
1. Use tweezers to remove all of the old glue
2. Do a DRY alignment of the adhesive strip to SCREEN (not the phone frame) first to ensure you have the adhesive strip the right way around. The cutouts in the blue plastic will align with all of the small silver pins (7-8?) around the perimeter of the screen.
3. Now flip it over and align it to the phone frame.
4. Start peeling the CLEAR plastic away from the little tab that will be near the top of your phone. Only peel about 1 inch of the plastic back so that it is being uniformly pulled down from the top.
5. With only the top edge of the adhesive exposed, slowly align and push the entire width of the top edge into the frame edge at a 45deg angle.
6. Carefully peel the clear plastic and lower to frame sides, slowly working your way to the bottom of phone.
7. Carefully peel blue plastic away - use the tweezers and don't miss any.
