iPhone 4 proximity sensor not working after replacing BLACK GSM

I own an iPhone repair store. I have done 100 or more iPhone 4 front glass assemblies. Those first 100 went on without a hitch. Now suddenly, in the last 3 months or so, 70% of my front assembly (screen, digi, LCD) repairs/replacements turn out great as usual, but the proximity sensor doesn't work. And I have ordered good quality glass from 2 of my suppliers.

I test all of the phones before I begin to make sure that they are working prior to my repair. Here is a senario from today.

Now I have had this issue in the past and have examined my glass to no end. The prox area of my after market glass is just as dim as the OEM glass. And what's stranger, is that I can put the glass that didn't work on another phone tomorrow, and there is an 80% chance that it'll work.

I have NO idea what is going on. The ONLY thing that I can think of is to get that little piece that separates the ambient light and the prox on the OEM glass and put it in there?
