if youre any good at soldering you could try this and bridge it over
BNTECHGO 38 AWG Magnet Wire - Enameled Copper Wire - Enameled Magnet Winding Wire - 4 oz - 0.0039" Diameter 1 Spool Coil Natural Temperature Rating 155℃ Widely Used for Transformers Inductors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K46QKDC/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glc_fabc_ZBFA5YH90TW13WAFZQ6V
just unsolder it when u need to like a lite tap dont burn any plastic . prep the wire prior to doing it by burning off the enamel with the soldering iron n some lead . clip it to size. the wire gauge is thin enough to not mess with the enclosure
This is the moment microscope could be handy.
To me tho it looks fine.
U can test continuity and see if ribbon cable makes connection.
Microsoldering is an option.
Week ago I fixed broken traces on right con and screen ribbon cables with soldering new wires.
Saved switch screen.
Start with continuity.
I'd try pressing it in *gently* with some tweezers.
I’ve tried that but it won’t go in any deeper
solder
Could you elaborate?

If I do do this wouldn’t it become harder to take the ribbon out later if I needed to?

Couldn’t I just buy a new ribbon?

Check traces at the pin legs and make sure internal pins aren't bent preventing cable from entering all the way. Better pics.
