Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G Screen fix / Screen cable replacement

Recently my Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G's screen stopped working, and I deduced that it was a backlight issue because the computer would function as normal and if you shone a flashlight up to the screen you could see the liquid crystal matrix was working. I have tested the screen with an old laptop and it works fine, so I think the cable that connects the screen to the motherboard is broken. I have been trying to find a replacement cable online to fix the laptop myself but I couldn't find any after about 4 hours of searching.

Do I need to get the exact cable for the screen to work and does anyone know where I could find one and point me in the right direction.
Also the reason I would rather fix the laptop myself is that it would take an extra month to ship it to and from Acer with the pandemic and Christmas coming up.

Photos of the cable:
