I just used the remaining iFixit provided glue dissolver and a cotton swab to clean up the remaining glue. It worked just as well as GooGone.

My cards were hitting the trackpad plate as well. When I started on the left side, I slid in from the left side (using the card left under the battery in step 29) I pushed the card in from the side enough to work the card into the front side (lifting the plastic bar enough to slide under it.) Also for this entire procedure, applying the solvent to the card itself was the best way to go. Apply to the card, slide it in, let it sit for 2 to 3 minutes, push in a bit, pull out, reapply... rinse repeat.

When putting it all back together:

Step 15

Make sure to put the end furthest away from the hinge under the ribbon cable first.

Then place the hinge side. The screw furthest away from the hinge is partially obscured by the ribbon cable.

Step 14 (Part 1)

Start the screws enough to hold the fan in place but don’t tighten them until after step 13.

Step 13

Since the screws are not tight from step 14, putting the fan cable back into the ZIF connector is easier.

Step 14 (Part 2)

Tighten the screws after step 13

Step 12

Continue doing the steps backwards as normal.

Make sure to put the end furthest away from the hinge under the ribbon cable first.

Then place the hinge side. The screw furthest away from the hinge is partially obscured by the ribbon cable.

If not placed correctly, ribbon cable damage may result.
