I'm confident if it comes with the easy align tray but the gift is just a cheap version I didn't expect. NO easy align tray, just a piece of screen protector, I know that it shouldn't be a big deal but I have to do it more carefully, is there any tips for applying screen protector without the easy align tray
 
I got the cheap version as well without the align tray, what I did was go to settings with the white background and aligned that way, the notch was a big help with making sure the screen protector was straight as well.

Have the phone and your hands resting on a table. Slowly lower it with your fingers. Looking all around. Visually confirming alignment as you get closer. Until you finally make contact.

I rest my hand and use my fingers for lowering. Since the table will act as a brace. Reducing wobbling and sudden jerks.

resting my hand? Did you mean sticking sides of both hands to the surface of the table to keep the hands steadily when applying the screen protector? thanks

Yes, use the table to steady your hands on their outside edge. Pinch the holding tabs between your index fingers and thumbs. Then slowly lower it. That’s how I have the most control.

Thanks, just wondering why in many youtube videos about applying screen protector they have to clean it with a cloth first, why don't they just apply the screen protector immediately after unboxing then it is even more dust-free

Just the chance of dust. You have to be sure that surface is extremely clean or risk bubbles.
