I added some very thin silicon self-fusing strips on either side of the new ribbon cable, to isolate it from both the HD and the top case (for insurance, as recommended).
If you look up "self fusing tape" online it looks like electrical tape. But it has no stickum. It just sticks to itself. Bought mine in the battery cable section at Tractor Supply.
