is the clip you are referring to, that is the lockdown for either the the laser ribbon or the control port ribbon. That lockdwon actually provides some downward pressure so that the ribbon ccable makes contact with the connector. Not sure where you are located but you can get repalcements from places [https://store.richspsxparts.com/brclforpl2mo.html|like this]. The official Sony part number for the complete connector is 1-794-206-21 and it is a 36P FFC/FPC connector. Of coures, there is always the option off finding a donor board to harest the connector from that.

Of course, you can always try to shimmy the lockdown back into place, even if it just holds on one side. For as long as it gets some of the pressure, it'll work.
