Accidentally killed vertical lines of pixels

So I broke the bezel along the base of my screen and bought a replacement one. In the process of scraping it off, I think I have applied too much pressure to the little orange connectors into the screen (the one farmost right or possible something else in the vicinity) and seemingly killed vertical lines of pixels in the far right portion of the screen (see attached image).

Is this fixable without an entire screen replacement?

Ouch! Not good! Sadly you’ve damaged the LCD ribbon cables there is no way to replace them, you’ll need to replace the full display assembly sorry ;-{
