You "ripped" LCD cable connector off the logic board (or it was done before you've opened your Lampshade, IDK).
If you'll take off this black plastic cover, you'll see that there is a plug and connector.

I've marked on your pic area where it was soldered. You can see solder points there. You need to find someone with SMD soldering equipment (and skills) to fix it.

Hmmmm...you think it would have been a plug, arrrghhh. No way to find anyone to solder it in these parts. I was thinking thats where it went.

I'm sure, because I've seen many connectors broken this way (I had many of G4 iMacs in my hands).
