how to reattach ir sensor cable to bracket in macbook pro 2012 after cable replacement

Hello,

I would like to reattach the ir sensor cable to the bracket in a macbook pro 2012 after replacing the hard drive cable. To remove it, I just pulled it off. The pictures on ifixit are so faraway I can't tell what to do. Googling hasn't turned up anything better.

Please advise,

Thanks

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 13" mid 2012

OK elastic,

Looking at your pictures more closely it seems like there's a black plastic protective cover on the end of your orange flex.

It should look like the pictures I posted above. See if that black piece doesn't slip off.
