What you need to do is replace the FPC connectors.

This is a very good video that explains how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCjAF7Nc...

Be warned this is NOT an easy job. This is not the kind of job I would recommend to anyone who is asking these questions here in this forum.

If you really want to do it yourself, do NOT make this your first project. Find some old broken cell phones to practice on. This is an advanced job that requires proper equipment, training, and practice to do right. It is nowhere near as easy as it looks in this tutorial video.

@muratkuecuek I was looking around to see if I could find these anywhere, but I haven't seen ones fopr the camera. They may need to be harvested from a donor tconboard/ cable.

@muratkuecuek It's been a few days, but I concur with Alisha. It may need to be harvested if you cannot find an exact part number to order from somewhere like Mouser or DigiKey.
