ASUS ROG GL752VW-DH74: I Need to Replace KB Backlight Connector on MB

So here's what happened. I was dissembling my laptop after it took a spill, as a result the LCD display panel wasn't functioning. I thought I could try reseatting the the power and LCD video connector (both ends), before purchasing a replacement display panel. However when it came time to disconnect the keyboard backlight cable from the main board. I thought like the other cables, I either needed to flip a latch or ease the cable from its socket. [Which I only learned later did in fact flip up after inspecting images of the main board.] Instead, only the white top portion came free. I figured I could just place the cable in the socket and replace the top portion.

So here we get to the root of my problem. I was pretty sure I had placed that portion of the socket in my parts tray (now I'm not so sure). But it wasn't there when I needed to place it. I know I could just leave it unconnected, but I sometimes use the backlight in dim lighting. If I knew the name of them or generic part number, I figure I can save a lot of money buying some sockets from a electronics parts vendor (e.g. Mouser) than it would cost to replace the main board. Can anyone here advise me?

I used this IFIXIT Guide, ASUS GL752VW-DH74 Screen Replacement. When I probably should have used this one instead despite it being for the DH71, Asus Rog GL55VW-DH71 Disassembly. The images there would have made me reconsider easing, what I thought, was an entire connector as opposed to the hefty ZIF connector it actually was.

The relevant image from the DH71 guide's image above, depicting the J3103 connector position on a rev 2.0 main board PN: 60NB0910-MB 3000. The second one (from an eBay listing), I believe depicts the main board's J3105 connector position on the PN: 60NB0A40-MB1500 I actually have. It is the same location, but I'm assuming there are minor dependencies between both board's layout.

@tech_ni

Could you perhaps elaborate on how you properly insert images? When I submitted my reply, I saw tags for the images, but not the images themselves.
