Here’s a good view of the cables between the display assembly and the T-CON board.

Clearly the cable is damaged. From your picture it appears the gap is larger than I expect.

In any case I would visit an Apple Store as this should be covered under warranty. Hopefully you got AppleCare+ which would help here and you’re still within the warranty coverage window. Don’t wait to long as the clock is ticking here!

You may need to claim a warranty exception if they give you a hard time. Be polite but firm, if the first person doesn’t give you the correct answer ask to speak to the manager and work up from there until you get it covered.

I would return it and get your money back from the seller.

Based on the texture of this ribbon, it’s obviously an actual cable.

Yeah, it has circuit trace patterns on it. I've seen inside the rubber elastic flaps they used and they should be smooth and flat with no markings.
