fpc connector problems - scanff - 12-18-2016

I was not expecting it to happen but the first time I opened the DSI header the locking part popped off.  I've used many of these connectors but non as flimsy is this.  Anyone else had the same experience?

It also seems to me that it's backwards, meaning I'd expect to insert the fpc/lcd on the outside of the board.  It's hard with such a tiny connector and your flex cable is getting bent by the Ethernet port.

I brought an pack of 10 replacements from amazon.  I'll have to be in the right mood to attempt removal and install of the header.
