it's good!

i'm noticing more guff in the diffuser layer but i'm too tired to do it all over again so i'll put it back together for now and now that i know how to get in here maybe some other day i put new diffusers in, maybe even the ones from the old panel if they're the same

transferred the rubber tape over to the new panel, thankfully still plenty sticky
