iPod classic hard drive ribbon connector

I'm replacing hard drive for this ipod.

Cannot seem to get existing ribbon cable properly inserted into new hard drive with my fat fingers and the flexible ribbon.

Does someone have some experience or advice for how to make this connection?

@mario_and_laura make sure that you have the right drive for the cable. Stick with the same brand of drive that you had before. It is a bit of fidgeting but should not be that complicated. Trust me, I got plenty of fat fingers and tremors myself:-) If at first you don't succeed.... Use this guide iPod Classic Hard Drive Cable Replacement to get it done.
