Acer Predator Helios 300 HDD connector replacement

Hi everyone from the community, can I know is there any way for me to purchase a replacement for my HDD connector? I broke it when I tried to clean my fans.

My laptop Model : Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-51-510T
HDD connector name: DH35F nbx0002cn00

The only few ways to buy a new one are shopping from AliExpress, or Alibaba(China's online shopping like TaoBao) or my local
online shop which does not have anything similar.

I found some very close model name for the connector on AliExpress
Like PH315-51 50.Q3FN2.002, is it replacable for my hdd cable?

I dont have warranty and issuing to Acer support also takes a lot of time ( also I need to get an extra for safety), but can I get those?

Or I can also pick the one which is very close in model name like this:

PS: I am from Malaysia, an asian country. Preferable asian online marketplace or shop

Hi,
Your model comes with GTX1060 graphics, so you have a HDD cable connector position on the motherboard different from GTX1050 model, the cable may be slightly longer in your model, I would suggest you buy from AliExpress because it's compatible with your laptop model and only 10MYR more than the cable from local shop, 50.Q3FN2.002 is the correct Part number.
I am concerned about the length only but both cable should work without any problem.

Oh wow, thanks for the great info, I am wondering which local shop you mentioned?
( So i would take the opportunity to pay a visit and pick one to compare, also I am kinda urgent to get one as AliExpress shipping time is hurting me )

Maybe could I place the cable to be in 45degree inclined insist making it a "n" shape? It wouldn't affect anything right?

Once again, very thankful for the info, at least I have the right direction now.
