Damaged screen display cable. Is it easy to replace myself?

So i've fitted a new hard drive for IMac mid 2010 21" edition. Upon putting everything back in place i've struggled to insert the screen display data cable into his port. Upon proper Inspection it seems that part of the pins in my socket is damaged.
This is what it looks like.. proper damaged right?

The port for the display cable on the logic board looks fine to me. Thoughts?

I've found the part on Ebay and wondering if its fairly simple to replace myself? local shops have quoted me £100 to repair and i'm by no means rich but brave enough to give it a go. I ask because I don't want to cause any further damage to the unit.
