It's not a separately-available part. Cheapest option: look on EBay for someone selling a dead mainboard and salvage that part. Otherwise, the only way to get one is with a new mainboard.
does this one tighten the connection or completly cover it? If it just tighens it you could try applying a couple layers of tape to the blue part of the cable to make it thicker.
if the cable fits into a slot, and all the plastic piece does is provide tension to hold it in the slot, e few pieces of clear tape to make the cable thicker may work.

I just need the black part, the white connector is still there, the black part just holds the strip down, otherwise it moves around freely.

All it does its clamp down the strip to the white part. What kind of tape would I use in this instance?

if it covers the entires cable end your best bet is getting a bad motherboard with that part still on it.

tape doesnt work well in that situation.
if the cable fits into a slot, and all the plastic piece does is provide tension to hold it in the slot, e few pieces of clear tape to make the cable thicker may work.
