M17x R4, Connector Location

Hello. I need help with my M17x R4 gaming laptop 2011 model. I got the computer from ebay in 2021 for 900$ used. I had noticed periodically artifacts from the screen probably attributed to overheated gpu during game sessions. Recently though the screen would go black requiring a restart to reenable the screen function. Which would happen intermittently per month on a sort of cycle even though I no longer gamed on it. I guessed it was a failing GTX 675M gpu. Even more recently the screen went off not completely just no image displayed. So I ordered some parts from ebay to get it back and running again. But before they arrived I decided to look into the case to see if there was anything I could do to maybe either maintenance the inner system or just learn what happened. Recently I took the laptop into KING IT here in Hervey Bay. Because I could not get the hdd to work. It broke! They cleaned the computer and replaced the aging  failed HDD with a new SSD. okay. charged 800$ dollars, but alright. Anyway when the computer stopped displaying an image I took it to them again to see if they would help me. No. they said you need a new laptop for 3500 dollars or pay 2000$ plus to fix whats wrong with the computer they had charged 100$ to look at. After I brought the pc home tail tucked between my legs. I immediately ordered a cpu gpu and ram from ebay again. wanting to see if I could fix it myself. anyway long story short I encountered some things that could possibly attribute to the cause and also need help relocating a connector under the keyboard to it's proper rightful place to where it's supposed to be inside the case. to which I made a video and screenshots to ask anyone here for their advice on what I can do here (in the video) so please here it is without further a due:
