Default LG touch sensitive buttons dont work

Hello everyone

I have this problem with my phone which is a LG GW620 it has touch sensitive home and back buttons and i recently had to replace the flex cable of this device becouse i broke it. The original flex cable had these foams glued like this:

deltamobile.lv/published/publicdata/DELTA1DELTA/attachments/SC/products_pictures/SLP_553_l.jpg

and the one i bought did not have them:

bridgat.com/files/LG_GW620_Flex_Cable.jpg

so now i need your help on what i should do with thease to make the touch sensitive buttons work again becouse without thease foams the buttons dont work.

Sorry for my bad English i hope you will understand what im trying to say here

EDIT: I attached the files with marked areas of touch sensitive buttons and where thease foams are.

DONATE TO ME
Could you mark these foams on photos?
If you mean regular rubbers used to keep things in phone on place - I'd take old ones from old flex and stick them to the new flex.
Feedback on my development is highly appreciated, but first you should read this GUIDE and watch this MOVIE.

If you like my work - you can help me getting various cool stuff by clicking donation link in my profile. It's not required while pressing is, just appreciated.

Yes, what Rebellos said.

The flex circuit board just has the contacts.
The rubber button has a carbon pad on the inside that shorts the contacts.

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by "foam" vs. the rubber button.
Do you have a more detailed photo?
You should have enough pieces from the old setup.
Can't you figure out how to merge the old and the new?

there is no button on the phone its touch sensitive mayebey it detects heat or something but with the new flex cable it doesnt do that any more.
