I would contact the people that did the repair and ask them what they are going to do to fix it.

With a water resistant device, which I had the S5, I wouldn't let anyone but Samsung do any repairs. That way, they are responsible for things like this.

Water damage just doesn't fix itself. If you end up with no problems later, you are just lucky. The phone needs to be check, there is no way for us to tell you what you need. Personally, I would be calling Samsung and sending it to them, if you plan to keep this device. This isn't just a regular device, it is water resistant and things need to be done right and the correct parts need to be used.

My two cents, YMMV

Exactly as said above when it comes to a sealed device I would only let the manufacturer work on it. That way you make sure it's waterproof integrity is intact even if it does come at a higher cost.
