I have the same problem.

I had some to and fro with the Fair Phone team, and they admitted it shouldn’t really be sold as a consumer replaceable part- as it isn’t. You need to find a repair place that can do “level 3” repairs on Fair Phone. I hope you have more success than I do, I live in Australia so the nearest place is roughly 10000km away…
