Lines in my iMac screen

So after about 2 years of dealing with my crazy slow iMac. I decided to open it up and replace the HDD with an SSD drive to give more power and better performance.



After swapping the drives and putting everything back together, on first power up turned on okay. But now I've noticed some vertical lines in the screen. (Links are the pictures. Now it is a screen issue because I, can screen shot the screen and the lines do not show upon moving the picture around.



I did notice even at first opening the screen, which I was careful about. I noticed one of the two cords that you're to disconnect before lifting the screen away completely (the one nearest to the camera/top side of computer) was a little......turned? ripped? not sure how to explain it.



So I'm wondering if the ribbon that I am describing is the issue, and if it is replaceable at all. Everything works 100% fine on the computer performance wise, the only issue is these lines now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
