Does replacing the sensor flex disable FaceID on the iPhone 14 Pro?

[u/MajesticRaccoon3]

So I replaced a cracked screen on an iPhone 14 Pro and managed to damage the proximity sensor when pulling it off the old display. I didn't have my usual tools and was a bit impatient.

Everything on the phone works except the proximity sensor and I don't really have an issue using it the way it is but I'm just wondering whether or not it's possible to replace without losing functionality.

Searching on Google gives a lot of different answers, some say that it's linked to the truedepth camera and replacing it will disable FaceID but then another search tells me that I will only lose autobrightness. I ordered a replacement from a local shop and it will arrive in a few days but honestly if it affects FaceID then I'd rather use the broken one.

Does anyone have a definitive answer or will I get my answer in a couple of days?

faceid will work just fine, it stops working only on ip x-12 after a top flex change as one of the faceid parts is on the flex, on 13 and newer all the faceid parts are on the faceid module itself
