Need to be careful not to pull the flash bits as well.

My rear camera lens cover stack fell off. The flash array, the two cameras and the sensors on the right are in place. The rubber ‘rings’ around the flash and sensors are gone and everything above them is gone.

How do I get all of the pieces?

Is it called a “lens cover stack" or something like that?

It’s hard to tell from the pictures but the lens cover is actually 2 pieces. There is a metal piece that the actual glass fits into but you can only see the outside edge of it. So if you accidentally break the glass camera cover like I did and order a replacement piece, they are probably only going to send you the glass. You’ll have to use something sharp to scrape the broken glass and adhesive off of the metal piece and then use new adhesive to stick the glass to the metal piece. Then you can insert the little LED cover and stick this assembly to the the back of the phone.
