Hello,
I made a bit of a mess.. Wanted to rearrange the 3 cables of that connect to the junction ports. There was a lot of dirt in this area after years of riding. So I unplugged them (by hand) and couldn't push them in again. It's supposed to click, but when pushing there's no click and the cable also didn't set. So I tried to force them a bit (this is the mistake looking back) and it didn't change anything. Now I cleaned the connectors with compressed air and push them in with the Shimano tool, it doesn't click still but they are a set a bit (like there's a tiny bit of resistance when trying to pull them).

A couple of questions:
1) Unfortunately the speed sensor is not recognised (and this means I can't ride the bike..). Did I destroy the cable, or event the port, by pushing a little bit?
2) What are the ports connecting to? The one in the middle is speed sensor, what's the left, and right connecting to?

Thanks for your help

You may have bent a pin.

One goes to your power button. The other to your handlebars for display and mode buttons.
 
Looks pretty ok to me. What do you think? @Astro66
Maybe it doesn't click because of the dust? What would be the best way to clean it, it's such a tiny space (more compressed air?)
The display is still working, but not the power button. So the one on the left must be power.
