broke the "small antenna" during battery change procedure

During the battery change procedure, which went well for the most part, I broke the “small antenna cable” identified in section 17. Didn’t notice until reassembly. Since it is not the GPS nor the WI-FI antenna, I’m unclear exactly what I will find inoperative once I finish. Is a replacement available? (I was confused by the difference in picture between the Wi-Fi model and mine. Oh well.)

I’ve never used the Cellular capabilities of the mini 2, so will I miss anything if I do nothing? Will the mini constantly remind me that the antenna is broken? Note: I bought the cellular version to get the improved GPS capabilities.

I’m off now to get some 90% isopropyl to clean the gunk left behind from the glue.
