Keyboard ribbon connector ? ZIF connector repair possible? Clevo P150SM

Installing new keyboard and the connector into which the ribbon inserts broke in half using fingernails.

When fitted together and with ribbon properly inserted as best I can tell with magnifying glass still >> no function.

Is this going to be a MB replacement or is a repair possible?

Looks much like the attached image copied from elsewhere.

Hi E

Thank you. You are quite right, and I sincerely apologize. You are also right about replacement and I've returned the computer for a new motherboard.
