I added 2 Pictures of the 2 diffrent connectors of the LCDs. The small one is at the old (broken) LCD. The wide one is on the new LCD which DELL suggested me to buy.
Now the question is, is there a new Cable for this problem? Can I buy it from Dell or should i look for it at a reseller?
You likely would be best off calling Dell to order the LCD with the correct (narrow) eDP connector and return the one they sent. Otherwise, they should be able to provide you the correct part number for the cable with the narrower connector on it.

LVDS and eDP are mutually exclusive -- what type of connector did the old panel have? It appears this model system shipped with both types of display.
Your original display is 0F7Y7 -- 30 pin eDP connector. So should the replacement be.
The only other connector for the LCD in this model is a 40 pin, used on the 4K screen.

If you look at the link below, there are two different connectors -- as you note, one wider than the other.
