ribbon connection damaged on logic board

I was replacing the screen and noticed the i couldn't get the 2nd ribbon to click on, upon inspection i noticed three of the gold teeth appear to be damaged, as they are pressed in. (see picture, bottom connection) I tried to power on with all 3 connectors on and the iphone will not power up. Is there a way to replace the second connection on the logic board or that section?

They don't look completely snapped off. Have you tried pushing them back into place?

Try pushing them back in place using a needle AFTER you disconnect the battery. Then gently try plugging the connector. Use magnification if you can. If you're lucky, it'll be OK.

If you are not successful, you'll have to have this connector replaced. And that is not a DIY repair, you'll need a technician or repair shop with micro soldering skills and tools to replace it without damaging something else on the board.
