Chosen Solution
Imac genius, refer to my two photos, do i need buy a top magnifier to check what inside J9001 is blocking my cable connector? I see 12 metals from above. Which pin(s) block me? What is doable to enable cable connector insertion 100% into board connector? (Out of careless mistake, my screen fell down desktop last week. The connector is partially broken)

This is my existing insertion situation.
You need a new connector at its physically damaged. There is no means to make this work as the socket pins are a fork type. While you might be able to insert the cable end it won’t make electrical contact with the mating connections. As much as I would love to offer you a magical answer to make this work I just can’t (nor anyone else can either).
Hi Dan, I fixed it. After purchasing the original logic board connector from taobao, I realise that a quick fix is to remove the front cover, and erect the 6 pins upright 90 degree to the floor. The board connector & cable connector at J9001 eventually fits to each other firmly. My solder skill too poor. I am too poor to buy a professional hot wind gun. The above solution is quite happy to me. Thanks Dan. I posted my previous wrong thoughts and my final outcome. Just use a mini 1-shape screwdriver to erect the pins…fixed it…the pins were tilted to screen side (as opposed to electric power back side ) due to screen drop onto desktop.
