SOOOO! How do you plug those oranges wires back?? Ive been wasting my time trying to plug it but i have no clue how.. It's too short and its hard to secure it..

The Heat -

I don’t own this camera but that does look like an oversight in this guide. Those are flex cables secured by ZIF connectors and it’s not enough to just “pull them slowly” as originally stated in this guide. I’ve tried to update the instructions accordingly, but some additional pictures would be helpful.
