Released November 4, 2017. Model A1865, A1901. Available as GSM or CDMA / 64 or 256 GB / Silver or Space Gray. (Pronounced the same as "iPhone 10.")

Did I do damage here (while removing the battery)?

Scratched an apparent ribbon cable (?) glued to the bottom of the case with the pliers, when the stretch tape under the battery broke on me... and I appear to have snagged/kinked another ribbon cable hidden underneath the upper battery while removing it with the alternative dental floss method.

Any fixes / mitigations recommended before I attempt to reassemble the phone?

Considering how fragile those cables are, there's a big chance the cable sustained some damage. If you can somehow try a new cable with it, that's probably your best idea as of right now.
