SOLVED: I accidentally broke the display's ribbon cable socket - Samsung Galaxy A32 5G

I accidentally broke the display's ribbon cable socket

When my phone started to have some display issues, I disassembled it and attempted to replace the screen. However, as I took the display's ribbon cable out of the phone's motherboard, the ribbon cable socket just broke. Where do I get replacement parts, and how do I replace it? It doesn't need to be a stable replacement, because I only need to get data off of this phone. I also want to avoid soldering, because I am bad at it.

@mewtwodestroyer you know that most Samsung phoned allow you to transfer data by connecting your phone to an external display and then use screen mirroring. You will also need a mouse and keyboard to operate your device so you can transfer your data. Check on here for more on this.

Now if you have any kind of pattern lock or password, you can't. You will need your display assembly connected. Sorry to say this but it needs to get soldered.

@mewtwodestroyer the part you've circled is actually the connector for the sub_board. That is SOC6000 and the Samsung part number for that is 3710-004501. Not sure where you are located but that connector is readily available at many online places. Something like this (not an endorsement, just an example) should work for your phone

The Galaxy A32 5G can't connect to an external display, unfortunately.

Anyways, do you know where I can purchase a replacement ribbon cable socket, or at least where I should look to do so?

Edit:THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
