the top of the connector on the board should be able to be pushed down into the connector, releasing pressure on the contacts, allowing the ribbon cable to be more easily inserted.
Well, most are that way. Some you just have to force in. Some can have their top plastics lifted to release pressure. (iBook keyboard cables are like this, only they're true ribbon cables and have a hard piece of plastic with the contacts to make things easier. Not all companies plan for ease of repair).
