Steps:

1. Use tweezers or a spudger to remove any adhesive residue from the top of the earpiece speaker and back of the antenna.
2. If your replacement part doesn't include new adhesive, use a small strip of double-sided tape to secure the antenna to the earpiece speaker.

3. Align the mmWave antenna over the earpiece speaker. Make sure the antenna's connector reaches its logic board socket.
4. Press the antenna onto the earpiece speaker to secure it.

5. Use your finger or a spudger to press the antenna connector onto the logic board.
6. To re-attach press connectors like this one, carefully align and press down on one side until it clicks into place, then repeat on the other side. Don't press down in the middle. If the connector is misaligned, the pins can bend, causing permanent damage.
