Those 3 plastic bands with connectors at the end are a really poor design and a drag to put back on correctly : there’s a little white line drawn on each one that needs to be aligned with a line drawn on the socket itself. This means you really have to push them back in (with a little platic tool for example). If not you can have a non functioning screen or no touch detection.
