Hi everyone! So I recently bought a 2017 13" MacBook Pro w/ TB (A1706), but discovered that the flex cable that connects the battery board to the motherboard has been cut for some reason. I can power on the Mac and use it, but only on power adapter. I have been searching for a replacement on the internet for hours now, but still haven't been successful in finding one. I've found similar cables for A1708, A1989 etc. but not for mine. I'm guessing the reason for that is because mine is soldered to the daughter board, while all the others are connected to it with a ZIF connector (both to the motherboard and the daughter board). I've looked through iFixit too and haven't found anything. Does anyone have an idea where I can buy one? Any suggestions?

Ps. the first two pictures attached are the ones I'm looking for and the third and fourth is what mine looks like right now.
