Anywhere to find replacement ports for this model of iMac?

So, to explain how this happened, I was transporting an iMac that someone gave me, but we forgot the screen wasn't screwed in or anything (it was loosely put together). About 3 connectors were bent or completely severed in the process that the display plug into. Everything else is in perfect shape. I planned to upgrade the iMac from an i3 to a better CPU, so I did proceed with that upgrade, but now I can't assemble it back up because there is no way for me to connect the display's connectors.

From what I can see on the board, what I need are the:

1) Internal Display connector

2) This unnamed connector that I can't seem to see the name or function of on the board, but I presume it supplies power???

'''3) The LCD Temp connector (possibly won't need it if I can still fit the connector in and just bend those 2 pins back into place).

TLDR; is there any place I can find these 3 connectors shown in the pictures/numbered above?

EDIT: I found the Internal Display connector on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/330972398205

One way to get connectors is to buy "dead boards". They are usually stripped of the CPU/RAM etc but the other parts, including connectors are usually there. I had a similar problem with a MacBook Air. Finding real/new connectors is not always easy and sometimes when you think you have it, you discover that something is off by tenths of a mm and then it doesn't fit.

Check eBay & Aliexpress.
