Are you sure that you screwed the metal plate back in far enough? I don't have any issues and can't believe that Apple would rely on adhesive to hold the home button from sinking into the phone. Especially as it's the most pressed button on the iPhone.
Good guide for pretty much every step except for removing the home button ribbon cable during the LCD shield plate (step 37) look at dv1997's comment! This is a much easier and safer way of doing things! There is a metal plate which is part of the underside of the ribbon cable which is very difficult to get the spudger under by going under the shield plate. It's much easier to get it from the front using the ribbon cable pull tab on the side.

Seconded! This should be the only way to do it. It's really difficult to get the spudger under the metal underside of the ribbon cable otherwise!
