Fantastisch! Thumbs Up
Now know what I'm doing at work tomorrow - lunch break of course Whistle Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

You need to get the key near to the back of the fob as possible, almost flush but leave 1-2mm for glue.

I used hot melt and seems to hold it solid well

There is also a small lug you need to trim away inside the fob

Lastly not shown in the photos but I insulated the circuit board from the key metal with sparky tape.

It's alright but it does make it quite a big key. Shocked

If you have a nice LR square key, I'd get a key cut to use in the old Austin / Mini style. Not sure if the newer square LR ones work.
