Replacing connector for top antenna?

I damaged the connector for the top antenna on my LG V20 during screen replacement but I am unable to find a supplier for the part. I am not even sure what to call it and was hoping someone might know as I cannot connect to my wireless carrier since the phone repair. The part, a sticker which I believe connects the top antenna to the bumper, is circled in red in the image I linked.

I did the same thing with the 2 pins near the headphone jack. (these connect to the “cellular upload” antenna at the bottom. I was able to figure this out because I wasn’t getting any upload when the pins were gone) I don’t think you can buy the pins separately anywhere on Ebay. I happened to have some conductive adhesive copper tape available and tried making a make-shift pin down there. Overall, it seems to be working for me now, but it’s probably a temporary solution at best. I noticed my download/upload rate drops down more than usual in areas where the cell phone network is weak. However, while driving my download/upload speeds seem to be just fine.

That's what happened to me - one of the pins broke. The cell signal started to be unstable, especially where weak. Download worked somehow, upload did not at all.
