Story behind it is, don't try to swap faceplatesI think I killed the ribbon cable on the bmw faceplate. Who the hell uses a ribbon cable on a faceplate? Screw you bmw

The hell do I fit this ribbon cable back in?

I can't seem to get it. I need some really really small pliers that bend sideways or something.

I don't recall it being that hard...
It's a typical ribbon cable connection. You should have to force nothing. On each side of the black connector there a release. If you trip the release with a small screwdriver or something, the ribbon cable pulls out of the connector.
To re-attach the cable, you need to make sure the releases are "open" and then slide the cable back in. Snap the releases down.
That should do it.
I'm not sure why you'd need some pliers - can you explain?
