Reassemble the 9 dome rows

Put back the 9 dome rows by soldering them to the keyboard base at the 9 rows joint points.
I used tooth ticks as dome's alignment guides by inserting them into the two existing small holes in each one of the 9 rows.

Re-apply the thin plastic cover onto the 9 sticky dome rows
Because the dome upper sides are covered with a very strong adhesive layer, it was enough to fix the plastic cover back in place.
