You'll have to remove the screen and either straighten it out to how it was or replace it, if you try and bring it back through the screen itself odds are you'll damage it

If the pixel 2 xl speaker grills/mesh get pushed in too far, is the phone's waterproofing compromised and water can enter the body through that point, or is there a rubber seal behind/beneath the grill mesh that upholds the phone's waterproofing? Thanks for your help!
