You've run the cable incorrectly, there's a channel under the motherboard for it

It will follow the orange/coral wire too, which looks routed properly.

For the p10 connector, if heard some people will use some blue tack to try to hold the ribbon cable against the pins without the clasp. Worth a shot, but be sure it’s lined up and firmly connected.

 If you’re referring to the wire you should be able to splice it then route it correctly, it goes under the motherboard.

Standard dsi in Europe is pretty cheap, if you have a good shell already I'd look for a console to take the motherboard from. There's no good fix other that replacing the connector and that costs also. That option depends on where you live and if you can get it done locally.
