Behiels,
You should have removed nothing from the backlight assembly. The thin
white plastic strip is the diffuser. Without it, the light will not
spread over all the LCD area.

Hi K2 builders ...
Thanks Alan I thought I could misplace this backlight in the PCB frontpanel
board.
But this is not possible,you could turn the backlight unit 180 degrees,but
anode and kathode connections always stays the same hi hi !!
I also found a lite transparant protection tape on the top side of the
backlight unit witch I have fragil removed ..
This is not described yet in manual also !!!
If you forget to take a look on it,you could not removed it anymore once the
LCD unit himself is installed !!!

If I understand you question, the backlight can go in either direction. Just make sure the end diodes stay in the plastic frame.
