Is there a technique to reconnect the antenna cable?

While I was following the battery replacement instructions, I accidentally nudged this part, which then came loose:

I think it's the antenna cable, which was previously sitting atop the taptic engine connector (please let me know if this assumption is incorrect!)

By placing it where it should go, it looks like the other end goes in this gap:

I can see a small metallic connector under the plastic part, right in the center of this picture. Since this is a flexible cable, I can't push down on it like I can with other connectors with the plastic there.

Is there a way to either remove the plastic part in the top left of the picture, or to plug in the round end of this cable without needing to press down on it? The space seems just a little too narrow for the precision tweezers.

Hi,

Yes this is a really tricky part to get back on.

I’ve had success by holding it at angle and using a flat screwdriver to gently press it back on to the stud, then rotating the other end very gently back to where it sits at the end of the Taptic Engine.

Be careful not to force the button end onto the stud, you can easily damage the round connector and then it won’t grip.

Bit of a fiddle but it can be done.

Hope this helps

This is for future people who may have this problem. I believe that part is the lower antenna flex cable. I just did the same thing and accidently disattached it while changing the battery.

That flex cable connects underneath the loudspeaker. I found videos explaining how you could remove the loudspeaker without removing the logic board. You only have to loosen and lift the bottom end of the logic board, and then you can wiggle out the loudspeaker.

That exposes the connector for the end of the lower antenna flex cable.
