Torn homebutton cable while disassembling

I tried to fixed my broken iphone 5s glass today and while disassembling I made probably all mistakes you can make.

First off, the home button cable ripped off with opening the case -- after 10 minutes pulling with the suction cup the screen went off with way to much force. So now the home button cable is still attached to the battery side and it is lose at the screens (buttons) end.

Secondly, while removing the steel plate at the very last moment I ripped the copper strip.

So I think my question now should be what parts should I order before starting to put the phone back together?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Very important: DO NOT RESTORE YOUR PHONE

The homebutton touch ID is linked to your Mainboard, so if you change your homebutton on the 5s you will end up with itunes error 53

to help you out, I would like to see some pictures of the damage.

For iPhone 5s, it is okay to restore, you just lose Touch ID. Error 53 only applies to iPhone 6 and iPad air 2.
