T9 is VERY snug. T8 would probably be better but I don’t have one to try.

T9 barely fits, I couldn’t even get 2 of the screws to turn. I think T8 works better

One frustrating thing. All the guides I find on iFixit never give tips on reassembly. I'm having a difficult time getting the back plate back on. No help here, unfortunately.
