Hello all, I recently replaced the wifi board in my 2012 Macbook Pro after it constantly refused to connect (displaying wifi not configured in the menu bar). However, during the replacement process, I discovered one of the antennae (likely the one closest to the corner of the computer) seems to have snapped. After replacing the board, I rebooted the computer to discover that the issue has not been resolved. As such, I would like to ask if this is due to the broken antenna, and if so how I could repair it. I would also like to ask if there is any way to ensure you reconnected the antennae to the right ports-while I am reasonably sure I got them right based on the bends in the wires, it doesn't hurt to get confirmation.

Hello all, I recently replaced the wifi board in my 2012 Macbook Pro after it constantly refused to connect (displaying "wifi not configured" in the menu bar-bluetooth works though). However, during the replacement process, I discovered one of the antennae (likely the one closest to the corner of the computer) seems to have snapped. After replacing the board, I rebooted the computer to discover that the issue has not been resolved. As such, I would like to ask if this is due to the broken antenna, and if so how I could repair it.

I've attached images of the broken cable and the problems with the wifi below.
