Pre-rotate the new Hinges to a 90 degree angle to make them easier to install.

-
Stick the antenna cables down onto the new Hinge.
-
Route the antenna cables through the hinge area, with the white and black cables sitting flat against the bottom of the Bottom Cover as much as possible. Avoid letting the cables twist or overlap, as this will interfere with the Input Cover and power button. You can use the spudger end of the Framework Screwdriver to help push the cables.
-
Route the antenna cables through each of the channels and rubber brackets.
