Google Pixel 5 - Proximity Sensor Issues - Reflow/Replacement procedure tipps wanted

[groomit]

Hi,
I just replaced the battery on a Google Pixel 5.
After that the proximity sensor isn't functioning properly any more. It is constantly activated. So when playing a voice message on Whatsapp, the Screen instantly turns off.
Checking with a sensor app I can verify weird behavior of the sensor. It is triggered when nothing is near and sometimes works correctly when squeezing the phone next to the sensor hole.
The rubber seal is on again (as mentioned in various suggestions in other forums).

This smells like a cold or broken solder joint. So I'd like to reflow it. But the sensor sits on some sort of plastic socket and I'm not to sure it will resist the heat.

I do have proper equipment and some experience in micro soldering.
I'm interested in experience and tipps on how to approach this thing.

Thanks an BR!

An answer to myself for future reference:
I just tried it with 300 °C with 50% airflow and it came off easy without melting. Reflowed it and now the sensor is working again.
The "plastic" seems to be some sort of PCB-like material.
