Hello Jacob Mehnert I have added a picture. It's the cream color one. The small latch came off.

Much appretiated for the image. The connector is called a ZIF (Zero Inseration Force) connector. The locking tab should reattach pretty easily, as shown in this guide. Although I would recommend using a set of Precision Tweezers.
