My US XT1768 did not have a notch here. I used my fingernails to pop the back cover off. Also, I followed this guide to successfully repair my US XT1768 in about 2 hrs. I’ve added a few comments below to point out the slight differences I found along the way

Step 2

Lift the phone out of the back cover.

Step 3

Use a fingernail or spudger to pry at the notch at the bottom end of the battery.
Lever the battery out of its recess and remove it.

Step 4

Remove the six 3.3 mm long Phillips #00 screws.

Step 5

Insert an opening pick between the loudspeaker and the frame to pry it up by twisting the opening pick.
Remove the loudspeaker unit.

Step 6

Use a pair of tweezers to pry up and disconnect the antenna cable.

Step 7

Use the edge of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the interconnect flex cable.

Step 8

Use the edge of a spudger to pry up and disconnect the fingerprint sensor flex cable.

Step 9

Remove the 2.9 mm long Phillips #00 screw securing the daughterboard.

My US XT1768 has two screws securing the daughterboard and the board spans the full width of the case.

Step 10

Pry under the bottom end of the charging board and lift it upwards.
Remove the charging board.

My US XT1768 has the vibrator motor not mounted on the daughterboard. Instead, the vibrator is connected by wires to the board and is secured loosely secured in a small slot in the case. Just use the tip of the spudger to pop it up out of this small slot a little at a time as you also pop of the daughterboard. Be careful not to pull on the wires.
