New LCD Screen (with frame) - can't install

I purchased a new LCD screen for my pixel 6. I got the one advertised as 'with frame'. I realize now that the screen that i took off the phone came out without the said frame. What is the approach I should take - can I remove the frame that is within the phone along the sides or do i remove the frame from the new screen (which doesn't appear easy). What approach is best/possible? If i can remove the old frame from the phone does the new screen with the frame just click in at that point?

The guide here uses the screen without the frame, so until the end, you need to follow the procedure this fellow shows in his VIDEO, I'd consider looking at the IFIXIT guide for what to do as far as reprogramming the fingerprint scanner etc, that link is HERE.

Hopefully this will be all you need. And, although the cost is a little higher, your framed screen is a less risky repair to do. Just be careful, don't lose the screws, Have fun! Soooo... You pick which way to go, look at both, but I'd remove the frame from the phone as less risky than trying to get the new screen out of the frame... or, you could try sending it back and get the one with no frame, and perhaps a small rebate, since you already have the screen off.

Good Luck.
