Sorry am late to this repair, but it may help someone else with a similar problem.
I had snapped off the little plastic tab latch as you describe that holds in the keyboard ribbon cable on a laptop, and found an easy way to fix it.
The same problem can occur on may different devices, such as CD players, laptop keyboard connectors, camera ribbon cable connectors, etc.
If you break off this little tab, the ribbon cable is not held in at all, and just falls out of the connector.
On the off chance that you have the same type of problem, check out my YouTube video I had posted last year. Not sure what is wrong with your connector. If it is the same problem, you can easily fix it in a few minutes.
