iMac 4k late 2015 lcd cable

Hi, I have a problem with buying an LCD cable. I bought a 21.5 "LCD and it has a 60 pin connector. The motherboard on my computer has a 40 pin connector.

I bought the lcd cable to imac 4k on this auction:

https://pl.aliexpress.com/store/product/...

But this cable does not fit :(

What does the original lcd cable look like with a 40 pin connector on one side and a 60 pin on the other side?

And where can i buy this cable?

Unfortunately, you've been sold the wrong cable for your machine.

The cable in the photo of the first link is for the HD model, not the 4K model.

Here is a photo of the cable you are needing:

and here are the 2 versions used for the HD model of 2015 21.5"

V2

What it looks like you've been sold, is the LVDS cable for the 2014 21.5" iMac range, which didn't even come in 4K versions, as seen here:
