For removing initial screws, there are 9 screws. The 9th screw is under the cover overlying the exit of the Polaroid film area. (hidden under the cover)

It’s at the top of the camera where you get picture.

I need the circular yellow plastic piece that goes around the lens. How can I obtain that? How do I attach?

I’ve drop my instax mini 8 at the airport and it looks perfectly fine at first until I realized that the film compartment has broken and it can’t close its ‘door’, but the instax still can be use just need to press the door against the film everytime I used which is annoying. Does anyone know how to fix it?
