The photo in step #7 is helpful but not sufficiently detailed to explain how the Panasonic ribbon connector works. Fortunately, Panasonic has a very detailed video about how these connectors work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-tBX1UN… (The helpful part of the video starts at 1:24)

It is recommended that you use a soft-tip instrument to flip the connector’s latching bar upward to release the ribbon cable. Then insert the ribbon cable from the replacement screen and carefully press the bar back down.
