How can I replace Ipad mini back panel + screen?

So a while ago I dropped an Ipad mini on its corner, and the aluminum back panel got dented in, causing the screen to crack (alot) as well. How exactly do I fix this? (I already have a replacement back and screen)

    There’s an appreciable online market for iPad replacement parts, all of varying quality. In many cases, a vendor might offer to sell just the iPad mini replacement glass. This is a trap to avoid in spite of how cheap and tempting the glass is, as the glass will lack the connector that attaches to the logic board and you’ll have to harvest the connector from the old glass, carefully cut through its eight solder points, then solder the connector onto the replacement glass. If you’re feeling brave or are a neat hand with a soldering iron, this’ll save you some money, but otherwise, opt for the more expensive iPad mini replacement glass. Elekworld has a good selection as well as a variety of colors if you’re tired of Apple’s selection of black and white.

    Good luck with that - this is an extremely difficult repair, here is a youtube video
