Hello guys. I'm new here. Basically what happened is I bought an iCloud locked iPhone 5S on eBay. I have an iPhone 5S (T-Mobile unlocked) which I took apart and couldn't put back. So it's basically in pieces, but I'm almost certain all the parts are in a working condition. Which parts would I have to swap from my 5S to the iCloud locked one in order for it to work? It would be awesome if I could transfer all the data as well. Thank you in advance and have a great day.
Got a tip for us?

You took the 5s apart and couldn't put it back together.
And now you will attempt to switch the logic boards and internal components between 2 phones and you will be able to put it all back together?

It sounds problematic to say the least.

LOL.
You'll be fine. Just work in a clean space and label everything or record yourself taking it apart.
