They accept it for print by me, but not for sale in that shop.
I'll check is there anything i can do.

btw, changing the electronics to another printed part is "easy". But propably you need to have new thin doublesided tape.
I use 3M 468MP

Adhesive tape is on three places, on left and right edges of pcb,
and on the OLED display flex-cable end. 3 pieces of about ~3x10mm
Lower end of OLED is attached by few pegs.
There is additionally black thicker tape piece between ALS and IR led.

1. Pop the OLED up from the pegs, bend 3d print a little and press display in.
2. Pull OLED display slowly up - now you see where double-sided tape is, you can bend it "alot" against the flex cable (avoid 90 degrees)
2b. Double sided tape seems to give up when slowly applying force to it.
2c. That doiuble sided tape and piece of black tape (which is on OLED glass) may be left of printed part. No worries.
3. Now start lifting the PCB slowly, avoid bending the PCB too much, find alternative positions to lift it if it does bend too much.

Check that the black piece is between ALS and IR sensor

Replace the other double-sided tape pieces.

1. Place the PCB + OLED in the new print, PCB against top edge and OLED below pegs.
2. Do not press with force, just so far that you can check that IR led is aligned in middle of the larger hole. Adjust pcb position (propably against another edge)
3. Apply pressure to the double-sided tapes for few secs.
