Flip the frame and then rotate it 180 degrees so that the speakers are facing you.
Be careful with this sequence of steps, as the thermal sensor (and its connector) are VERY frail.
Use a spudger to gently disconnect the thermal sensor from the hard drive.
Peel back the black tape and free the double-stranded wire from the drive.
Gently deroute the wire from the small notch on the frame (third picture).
Make sure that the thermal sensor remains connected to the interconnect board.
