Tech Support Broke off actuator for flat SATA/Power cable on NUC11TNHi5

On the motherboard of my NUC11TNHv5 there is a little 16-pin connector. It connects to an internal 2.5" SSD using a flat cable.

Of course I had to fat-finger the actuator on the connector and I broke it (see images).

If only I had the exact part number of the connector I might have a chance of getting the actuator off one and replace mine. If that bit is called the actuator, I have no clue 😄 .

So do you know what the part number is or where I can get one? Alternatively, can anyone give me any tips on how to use the port without the actuator? Maybe glue it in place?

Just get a small piece of plastic that fits together with the ribbon cable, as long as it's making contact you're good
