Carefully move, but do not remove the front-facing camera ribbon cable aside with the flat edge of a spudger.

OR, if you’re having a problem with the front camera OR the ambient light sensor (which is the small module above the camera lens), go ahead and remove the front camera and swap in a new one, complete with sensor module. It is theoretically possible to remove and swap just the ambient light sensor module, but this author found it too difficult to be worth it, if it’s possible at all.

[The ambient light sensor makes automatic adjustment of screen brightness possible, if you switch it on with the toggle under “screen and brightness” in settings. When working, the screen gets dimmer in dim settings and brighter in bright settings. It might sound unimportant, but if you’ve tried to take pictures in bright sunlight with a dim screen…you’ll appreciate it’s usefulness.]
