Help Ribbon Cable Nexus 6

[grpofficial]

So I took off the sticky back cover of the nexus 6, In doing so I accidentally separated the ribbon cable, now the nexus 6 will not turn on without my charger and the power button will not work. I'm sort of new to phones and am unsure how to fix this problem, the ribbon is very tiny and hard to put back together, btw it's not damaged, can anyone give me some advice on how to put it back together?

At about 1:45 into this video it shows how the battery connectors are disconnected. Is it one of them? They should simply plug back in, unless you damaged the cable, then you'll need the replacement part.

At 3:37 he removes captain tape from the part i'm talking about that part is separated also just to clarify the phone when removed from the wireless charger works for a minute then the screen goes black till I put it on the charger again

Yep, that part of the clip he removes the tape that holds the ribbon cable clip down. You can replace that with a small piece of scotch tape when you put it back if you want, but it isn't really necessary once the phone is closed up.

At 5:21 he shows how to re-assemble the ribbon cable. That little white thing is the clip and it flips up from the back to the open position. My guess is you simply pulled the cable out and never opened the clip. If you try to push the flat cable back in with the clip closed, I doubt you'll get a good connection, if you get any at all. Open the phone up again and pop the clip up, then insert the cable all the way to the back of the connector and then push the clip back down to secure it. If you want the belt and suspenders, then use a bit of scotch tape over the whole thing.
