How can you reattach the small proximity sensor to the flex cable. It pulled apart during removal. if it is impossible to reattach it is there any issues with ordering a new sensor and ribbon? I was under the impression that the sensor should match the phone it’s removed from?
It’s pretty much impossible to re-attach the proximity sensor once it’s broken off from a front camera without specialised rework station tools. There should be no issues using a replacement front camera assembly as they work with every iPhone 6s plus. iFixit does sell the replacement front camera and has a guide on how to replace it: iPhone 6s Plus FaceTime Camera and Sensor Assembly Replacement iPhone 6s Plus Front Camera and Sensor Cable
