Do I need to order the screen adhesive?

The Pixel 8a parts list shows the screen adhesive as an optional component. I did not include this in my order. Have I made a mistake or can I refit the screen with the optional adhesive?

It is possible to use the old adhesive but it'll be less effective after opening the phone.

I personally would purchase the new adhesive.

Keep in mind the adhesive isn't just holding the phone together it also helps create the seal that helps prevent dust and water ingress.
