In your pictures it does appear you have the compression lever latch! [image|2715733] And here we can see it in the released position [image|2715734] So you may only need a new ribbon cable if the end is damaged. As you hadn't posted it I have to assume the real issue is you can't feed the cable in as in the current state the connector won't accept it until you open it up.
