I was changing my RAM and I saw this was sticking up. I assumed I must have knocked it out and I don't know what it does? Can someone please tell me how this thing goes or how to get it back in the slot!?

per ifixit.com, it's the keyboard backlight ribbon cable.

A plastic toothpick, the ones that have the floss hoop on the other end that you can bend slightly at the sharp point is a great little tool for flipping those cables you forgot to when you screwed down the logic board when you're lacking the right tools. Snip the sharp pointy end off with scissors for a flat edge on the end but not too far down the stem!
