Home button will not stay in new screen, even with back plate secure.

I get this issue all the time with the iPad 5 glass only replacements.

There will always be a small gap where the iPad home button is slightly dipped in but otherwise works fine.

With the backplate which you will have transferred from the old cracked screen there are a few things to note:

- Have you cleaned the old adhesive off of it? I use ethanol / igniter fluid carefully to remove the adhesive then isopropyl alcohol (99% preferred) to clean the adhesive residue so that the surface is clean and ready to put new adhesive on.

- What kind of tape are you using to adhere the metal bracket to the glass? Thinner strong adhesive is the key to getting it to have a better snug fit. Tesa 61395 is what I use to adhere the black home button bracket to the glass.

Another thing to note that with the replacement iPad digitizers, some suppliers have thicker glass and other suppliers have thinner glass. This in result will cause the home button to either feel more dipped in or closer to the level of the glass.
