Re-connecting fan ribbon cable

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I am trying to install a new fan but the ribbon cable is so small and flexible, I can't insert it into the ZIF socket.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

+I tried to do this and ended up breaking the latch while trying to pull the ribbon cable through the opening. Not happy about the result, although I think I have found a work-around
