FPC Connector - Matebook X Pro

Question

Please excuse me if this is not the right place to ask this question.
I have been looking for a specific ribbon cable (motherboard to LCD board) for my Huawei Matebook X Pro for more than a year now and I still can't find it.
Now, Im trying to see if someone with good soldering skills and have proper tools would be able to just replace the FPC connector and so I'm looking for this FPC connector below, you can see on the screenshot seem to have 3 broken PINS

I've spent countless hours searching online for this but Im still not sure if its even possible for me to know which one to get. I check on digikey and the result is just overwhelming.
All I know is it has 40 pins, but Im not sure if all the FPC which looks like this and has 40 pins would fit on this. I've seen FPC connector for Smartphones on AliExpress with 40 pins on them which looks like this but I have no idea if they are the same and can be use on my case.
BTW, here is the actual image of the flex connector that I can't find online

I'd appreciate if someone can advise how to get that correct FPC connector.
Cheers.

Reminds the Molex slimstack. Can be similar enough to order samples. Can you check the pitch?

This may be your part. I'd search this site. Unfortunately there are no images to compare to but the part is cheap so it wouldn't hurt to just grab one.

These look like a variant of the Panasonic FPC to board connectors.
If you can take measurements and have a close look at the details here you might be able to figure out which exact model it is.
I haven't had many successes with repairing FPCs (they were delaminating quite fast), but you might have better luck.
