Issue IPhone 6 extension flex ribbon metal backing separated

I

iMore Question

I was removing the heat shield from flex cable and I carefully pried the home button extension off but I noticed a small metal backing remained on the bezel/housing. The replacement screen assembly doesn't have this metal part so I'm assuming it should have been part of the backside of the home button extension flex ribbon. Can I just remove the metal plate and attached it to the new front cover?

I don't know. In fact, I recommend you visit the ifixit website and view one of their numerous videos to see whether or not you can do what you're asking.
