I was replacing a shattered screen and none of the methods worked:

1. I couldn't get the suction cup to seal against the screen

2. None of the tapes I used (packaging, duct, & gorilla) would adhere to the screen

I ended up using a craft knife to pry open the seal. The opening picks worked great on the non-shattered portions of the screen. This step took me a few hours to troubleshoot

I had trouble with the calibration step. I ended up having to install the Google USB driver. I downloaded it here and followed this guide, using the Windows 10 instructions for Windows 11

You also have to deal with the square adhesive strip (the one you replace in steps 14 and 17). I ended up forcing the phone open because I was throwing away the old screen.

I'm not sure how you'd do it if you wanted to avoid damaging the screen

If you bought the "Fix Kit" version of this, the screen adhesive comes pre-installed on the replacement screen.
