LCD REPLACEMENT How to connect display data cable?

Hi everyone !

I've followed steps 1-8 and have managed to remove my broken screen :) So far, so good.

Now I'm trying to put the new screen in and am having a terrible time trying to connect the display data cable to the new LCD. I am having a really hard time trying to fit into the socket and I cant properly close the retaining clip.

Does anybody have any tips on how to do this ? They would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks :)

Im afraid of using any tools ( metal ) because everyone talks about the connector being really fragile

Update

I managed to complete step 8. I'm trying to replace the screen, thats when I'm having trouble ( reconnecting the display data cable to the new screen) , the display data cable seems to have receded and the whole thing has become very tricky!

Pictures would help. What tools if any are you using to seat the cable?

I'm having the same problem. I find impossible to connect the data cable. If only it was longer or I had more hands...
