I managed to tear apart my keyboard ribbon that connects the motherboard to the keyboard during thermal paste replacement and now I have no keyboard functionality because of the missing ribbon connector for keyboard. Will another keyboard ribbon from Macbook pro 13” 2019 function? Any other ribbon except the OEM one? Thank you so much!
Is this a good question?

No! You need the 15” cable MacBook Pro 15" Retina (Mid 2018-2019) Keyboard Cable
As you can see the 13” is very different! MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Mid 2018-2019) Keyboard Cable
How about posting some pictures of the damage so we get you what you need as your description implies you have logic board damage. Adding images to an existing question

The ribbon is clearly torn. Macbook is able to turn itself on and will function as standard, provided I connect an external keyboard to it. Thank you!

Ouch! Yes you do need a new cable how does the logic board & upper case connectors look? Are they OK.
