I’ve seen people using a 2011 screen on the 2012 model but is it possible to do it the other way round?
My 2011 screen died on me and I have a broken 2012 lying around.

As long as they are both Unibody systems! You can’t use a Retina display on a Unibody.
Be aware the 2012 systems use a slightly different LVDS connector!
Most people are placing the 2011 15” hi-res matte or gloss displays onto their 2012 system. Here the LVDS cable tang needs to be ground down a bit, so it can fit. If done correctly there is no issues.
Here you’re doing the reverse! The 2012 display LVDS cable is a bit smaller so make sure you’ve centered the cable in the connector otherwise you risk shorting out!
Frankly, I don’t think its wise as you could damage your logic board and the display! The 2011 & 2012 displays are no different otherwise!

Thanks for the tip! I didn't want to risk damaging the logic board so I actually just re-seated the display and it works for now. Would have to eventually replace the screen but I'll leave that for future me to worry.

Should be all good might be bit hard to connect it.
