This guide was helpful in replacing the screen in my son’s Acer Nitro 5 AN515–43-R0YM, with a slight difference. That model’s screen is held in place with adhesive strips, not screws. Kind of pain, but not too bad to deal with. The strips work basically like 3M Command Strips. Use pliers are strong tweezers to grab the tab peeking out from behind the screen at each corner (but do one at a time, of course), and slowly pull straight out (parallel to the screen). Once enough has come out, grab with your fingers and keep pulling slowly. If you pull too fast it could break, and then you’ve got a real headache on your hands. Be patient and eventually the tape will release.

I’ve use it for a AN515-52 and the steps are the same. I did a screen replace in less then 15 min. Top guide
