Thanks 666Gothicgirl for pointing out those solder pads, I wasn't paying proper attention when I installed the kit the first time. 

So I just wanted to explore the possible uses for those solder pads. You can wire them up to whatever buttons you want (my choices would have been select and down) but the operation is pretty much as expected. You wire up the "hold" button to enable brightness mode, and then the other button to toggle the levels. 

Here are the vias you can use (thanks bsparks!) instead of having to use the test pads on the front of the board: https://i.redd.it/af9szectfpu21.png

Make sure you double check the vias with a multimeter as the location may change between motherboard revisions. 

You might want some spacers to help position the LCD in the shell. You can reuse yours from Freckleshack (if you have one, of course) or print new ones: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3732645

If both of those options are unavailable, the gap on the left (inside) should be 6.1mm and the gap on the right should be 3.6mm. 

This is not a Freckleshack clone. There is a Freckleshack clone but this is not it. You can get this on taobao, aliexpress, ebay, or even Funnyplaying.
