Use this guide to replace the fingerprint reader in your Google Pixel 6 Pro.
If you replace the fingerprint reader in the Pixel 6 Pro or switch it between two different displays, you need to recalibrate it to maintain its functionality.
Warning: The replacement of the fingerprint reader in the Google Pixel 6 Pro is not super complicated however, the screen gets damaged very easily during the removal procedure.
Caution: The Pixel 6 Pro contains class 1 lasers. Disassembly could result in exposure to invisible infrared laser emissions.
Retaining water resistance after the repair will depend on how well you reapply the adhesive, but your device will lose its IP (Ingress Protection) rating.
You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device.
Note: Replacement fingerprint sensors are not available for sale on iFixit or from Google.

The new screen did not come with the plastic frame. This would be helpful to discuss.
Yeah, that depends on what the screen comes with when you buy it. Some places sell replacement displays with nothing else and also an option with the frame, shieldings and fingerprint reader attached
