I have replaced the wifi ribbon cable in my Mac once before, but whenever I shake the mac, the wifi disconnects. Is this an issue with the new ribbon cable or is it an issue with the antennae in the display?
Is this a good question?

Can you take a few pics so we can see things. Disconnect the ribbon cable from both ends take a nice sharp picture of the connector faces on both the cable ends and the logic board & Airport bd carrier so we can see the pins.

We don’t have guide to replace the antenna assembly as it rarely needs replacement. Often the cables get damaged going through the hollow hinge, I fear that’s what has happened here.

Thanks, I added images
@Noah Cain - I was hoping we had some damage that could explain things - we look good here! None present.
