Hello! I just broke the flap/hinge on the ZIF socket connecting the fan ribbon. What do I do now? Is a replacement ZIF socket available?

The zif connector just detached from the board when attempting to open the hinge with spudger. I’ve tried to solder the zif connector back to the board but the connector is so small that I haven’t been successful.
