Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about a torn cable sorry. Replacements would function for a button/camera, but the touchID wont work again.

If you tore the home button cable that goes from the motherboard to the display you can do a screen replacement and that should fix the home button but if you tore the actual home button itself then there’s not much you can do. A skilled micro soldering tech might be able to fix it but you’ll most likely need to replace the button, resulting in a loss of TouchID permanently. As far as the front camera flex that’s an easy replacement however you’ll lose TrueTone unless you can retrieve the serial number and transfer it to a new front camera assembly.
