Ribbon #3 slides in from the TOP (the black end), but the lock is on the BOTTOM (the white end).
On the BOTTOM, you can open the lock easily by lifting the bottom edge upward... it flips straight up.
With the lock open, insert the ribbon cable into the top, black end. You may need to push slightly (I used a tiny flathead) to get it in as far as possible.
Then, just rotate the lock back down into place. You might need to use a small tool, but it's very easy.
