This is a good tutorial but there is no mention of the bottom two connectors attached to the motherboard and some tips on reattaching these, i.e. the connector cables can be extended and then pulled back to normal to make reattachment possible

Exactly! Followed this tutorial today, wanted to replace motherboard, and almost ripped off the lcd/touch connectors and flat cables because didn’t know they are there. It’s a bit difficult to put them back, be careful.
