Having found rainy days I have the laptop apart with dual antenna in hand. Display apart and I find no pocket near the Main to place it in. The Aux is perhaps 3" longer in cable length and only unidirectional in placement. No options. The main has in a Pocket designated for it. So the question begs where to put it and have function? 

One on top of the other a tight fit.

The sticky tape was problematic at the base, I assume a seal for the trim, other than that no major issues and i did not fully disconnect it as it was not needed for room to run wire and i would not recommend anyone do that unless replacing the screen itself.

I have discovered the solution to my problem in placement. the original Main is also elevated on a Waffle pattern. The nest is right next door on another for the Aux. i wonder why replace the main also though? I can get around and under it in the slots.

In my running the new AUX antenna wire was no problem, they  lay on top of the Main that I decided to leave finding no point and a path being obvious. After consulting our I- EEE son, he also saw no reason do do it. The Display Hinge needed to be released on the one side is all to place them piggybacked properly in the path to the exit toward the new Card. Then the lengths were proper length to connect them.

 

Someone may get confused in placement and the Trim lock in could be compromised damaging the secondary Aux wire. thinking the job complete.  They are not matched pairs in truth. Only delicate signal wires to not be damaged to me.

What I am wondering now is the Lower Seal covering the C/B for the Display underneath the Trim piece, I assume to keep out contamination. That was a real issue and needs replacement. I do not see that in the parts listing from HP. A Black sticky membrane of some sort? I used a exacto blade to prevent unnecessary removal beyond the C/B. that was adhered to both the Display and also the cover trim. excepting the C/B itself. it seems to have some perforated portion where it fold over the C/B and is non adhesive over the C/B= (Circuit board) itself.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
