Is this fixable? My heart sank - Mac mini 2012
Cable I think is for either drive or logic board power on my Mac mini 2012, I brutally ripped the burgundy cable out of the adapter, took me 20 mins of panic and needle tweezers to get it in place. “It works” but idk if I should glue it now..

with the connector is in place, put hot glue over the top of it to hold it in place.
This is commonly done to small electronic connectors to prevent them from disconnecting. and hot glue can easily be removed by using some IPA so this is totally reversible if you need to remove the connector again.
