If it's the flex clamp that's broken off, you should be able to make an equivalent by having a suitably thin piece of plastic, cut to the same width as the internal slot of the connector, and inserting it into the connector after the flex cable has been positioned.
This will fill the slot and squeeze the flex cable against the connector contacts.
The PBC of HFW5442E-ZE seems to be different from the Chinese version.
Can you take a picture of the reverse side?
Especially the surrounding photos of the Hi3516DV300 processor.
Thanks for providing.
Maybe your ipc is a PTZ lens.
So it is very different from my PCB.
But it should be possible to plug the CMOS cable back and fix it with glue.
Be careful not to reverse the connection.
Flat line blue facing numbers 1~39.
Flexible flat cable specification AWM 20798.
That's not a good idea.
The fingers of the flex cable must be pressed against the connector contacts in order to make connection.
Very easy just to insert a very thin piece of plastic cut to the width of the slot in the connector.
With the right thickness the flex cable is pressed against the connector contacts and held securely in place.
