How to reattach ribbon cable on microphone board?

So the microphone board flew off when the device fell onto the floor. Everything else was in tack before hand. The ribbon cable won't stay in when I try to reinsert it into the port. It stopped responding to my voice after it was dropped and I assume that's because of the ribbon cable being detached.

So this connector has another bit that I'm willing to bet you're missing. There should be a darker brown part as well, which is what locks the cable into the connector. When it flew apart, this bit may have launched into the unknown. I would hunt around and see if you can find this piece. You should be able to reattach it.
