I haven't used any soldering at all and hope I don't have to. Nothing appears broken just looser than it was.. I'll keep trying thanks

The latch isn't broken but the connection is much weaker than it was when I removed it. I was very careful removing it. Is there a way to tighten the connection? The concept seems weak as far as electrical connections go honestly. I'm not sure why some other connector isn't used. The manual says be careful not to open and close it after initial installation so is it some kind of attempt at making them proprietary essentially? Can I get a new latch connector somehow?

I am reassembling a variax 500 after taking it apart to do some maintenance and maybe make a new body for it and I am having an issue with the bridge connection. It doesn't connect firmly and pops off easily. The guitar functions only when I push on the latch connector to make more contact. Is there something I can do to correct this?
