To replace the flexible cable on an Asus VivoBook laptop, follow these summarized steps:
- Power off the laptop and disconnect all power sources.
- Remove the laptop’s back panel by unscrewing the screws and carefully prying it open.
- Disconnect the battery connector to avoid any power flow during repair.
- Locate the flexible cable connected to the motherboard and the screen or keyboard (depending on the cable type).
- Gently lift the locking tab on the cable connector (usually a ZIF connector) and pull out the flexible cable.
- Route the new flexible cable in the same way as the old one, ensuring it is not twisted or pinched.
- Insert the new flexible cable into the connector and lock the tab securely.
- Reassemble the laptop by reconnecting the battery, attaching the back panel, and screwing it back in place.
- Power on the laptop and test the functionality of the replaced cable connection.

Laptop computers have several flex cables inside them; you're going to have to be a little more specific about which one you are trying to replace.
A good place to start would be with the Asus Service Manual. You can download it from the support page here.
I've also downloaded it to the device page here on iFixit so it'll always be available in the future.
Let us know what flex cable you're talking about and we'll see if there's more help we can give.
