1. Bend the encoder's securing tabs to 75º, so you can insert it in the upside of the PCB (the labeled side!). Please, be very careful when bending the tabs as the encoder case is quite fragil and could be deformed. I recommend to use small pliers and not reaching to 90º.

2. Place the capacitor in the C1 position (the most right!)

6. Bend the pin-row outwards a little bit, like shown in the photo. You can use a screw-driver or similar to do it.

7. Use the pliers to close the tabs again, trying to "catch" the PCB.

Frequently, clonic PiTFT touchscreens have 4 switches welded on it. These switches can be annoying when holding the display to the case. If the switches remain pressed after mounting, then it will cause problems as are connected to the GPIO and will conflict with the controller modules. The switches are easily pulled out by slighty turning each switch parallely to the board with a pair of pliers.
