Cellular Antenna Connection Location

I've got an iPhone 6 with spotty reception after a fall. Case itself seems fine, and I feel like there may be a lose connection or individual component that needs to be replaced. Having a hard time determining from the tear downs/guides which part needs attention/replacement. Its looks like the antenna cable running from the lighting connector to the logic board might be a candidate, but I am also unsure whether the antenna module located towards the top left of the case is used for cellular service. I've already replaced the SIM card and wifi works just fine...

Any help here is much appreciated.

Thank you both. I've tightened all the screws seems like its more solid now. If not a trip to the Apple store is in order. On the plus, my one year old daughter may have a bright future as a major league pitcher :)

There are at least 3 antennas for cellular connection and at least 2 are used simultaneously.

The lightning flex with the bottom bezel is primary Rx and Tx antenna,

the top bezel itself is NFC, GPS, diversity Rx and secondary Tx antenna, maybe also for Bluetooth/Wi-Fi but I'm not sure,

The antenna on the top left is like the top bezel, but I'm not sure how those two share the tasks.
