managed to snap touchID flex connector off in its socket by home buton

Hey sorry to hear that. Hopefully all got resolved. If not, if you are able to remove the broken off portion from the socket without breaking the pins, you may be able to just replace the home button (touchid won't work after.) If the socket is damaged in the process you'll just need to replace the charge port flex as it has the touchid socket attached. With both replaced, the button will now work, but TouchID will never work again unless Apple pairs the new button to the device....Which they don't do :/
