Broken LCD temp sensor connector on logic board

I own mid-2010 27” iMac

While attempting to do the HDD swap, I broke the LCD temp port that's attached to the logic board, and now the cable doesn't connect properly. As a result, the fan is going maximum. The sensor cable is fine, it's that port on the logic board that's broken.

What's the part number for this part and what would be the best way to fix this?

Answer this question I have this problem too

I will later tonight, but the connector on the logic board is broken, I accidentally pulled it while I was trying to remove the lcd panel. I think the cable is fine, but the connector is broken and the pin won't sit properly.

You might try just soldering the wires directly back onto the board. That should make things work again simply.
