I added xtended range antennas and in removing two of the ribbon connectors, the little black lever came off. What are the fixes/solutions?

This has been spoken of before. I've not heard a solution. You might be out of luck. Lets hope someone else has a fix.
I had two come off, one on the #2 cable and the other on one of the small ribbons on the HDMI board.
They are delicate, you can easily damage them if not removed properly/with care. Can you post pics?
Not much to see except the small connector missing the black lever. These were the small connectors that held the ribbon from the gimbal adjustment and the C2 button.
Impossible to repair. I replaced an entire camera and gimbal when it happened to me. Sorry, I know that's not what you wanted to hear!
You would think the connectors would be available and could be soldered in. And you're right, I didn't want to hear that! La la la la la (with hands over ears)
For what it's worth, I used scotch tape to hold the ribbons in and it works. Of course the 2 ribbons go to the C1 button and to the gimbal adjustment and aren't critical. And I plan to add an HDMI module so that will take care of one of them. If I can remove the connector off the old module and use it to replace the #2 connector, I'll be good to go!
