A ribbon? easier to buy a new one, harder to find one. If one can be very accurate, one could maybe be able to "attach" them together, but I doubt it would work and might cause more problems than not doing so, or if one can wire things up by hand. So just find a new (correct) one if able to.

If you can remove and replace a new one.

you never know if there is other issues, if you never got it to work. Unless you know a lot about the electrical components and electricity in general with tools to meassure it with. It could be a lot worse or not at all, you could try to repair if you want, but you might have to repair a lot more or you are lucky. Also if the screen itself has not been damaged in any way.
