Broke plastic connector for temperature sensor?

Hey,

While trying to upgrade the SSD, I accidentally broke the plastic connector to what I think is the 'Right Temperature Sensor' according to iFixIt.

This is a picture with a similar cable coming from the optical drive that I guess is also a temperature sensor:

To see this on the logic board, look at the first link here where the connector is at the furthest left in the blue box:

In the blue box farthest left is the cable

The entire logic board can be seen in this image from iFixIt:

First I want to know, can I replace this wire? I found this on an external website since I couldn't find it here. Is this the right cable?:

I was planning on trying to put the connectors back into their slotting and use poster putty and electrical tape to fix them in place. Is that a fair fix for this issue?

How would I replace this cable if I had to, and what does it even do? I guess it's important for the fan control and heat sink, but I guess I really screwed up badly then.

I'll really appreciate any help!
