How to replace the SSD with the new ribbon cable placement

From what I have seen online (which isnt much at this stage as very few people have posted videos showing the internals in any detail yet), the process of replacing the SSD in the OLED deck seems to be a bit more complex, owning to the placement of the ribbon cable over the shield plate.

Has anyone seen anything or have experience of how simple it is to disconnect the ribbon cable? I have also seen comments on some videos abuot there being adhesive under the shield making it hard to remove the SSD. I'm sure all these answers will be in an iFixit guide soon. but as so many people buying the new Deck will be wanting to swap out SSD's on day one, this video can not come soon enough. Any info anyone has to share would be super gratefully received.

Thanks,

Sorry but I did watch that video before posting this question. The video shows a very quick clip of the wire being pulled off, but no details of how easy it is to disconnect it first. You could seriously blink and miss the moment the interconnect cable is covered and it does not go into anything like the detail a novice would need to feel safe disconnecting it. You can find the portion of the video here, https://youtu.be/fhUqh-RkqEU?si=mxtxrJsY...
