I suspect the GPS/GNSS cable may be the one in the lower right here:

Pretty sure that is the WiFi (and maybe BT?) - the cable runs to the bottom USB-C slave board that again has pins to connect to antennae in the midframe. Reason I say WiFi is I broke the connector off my USB-C slave board when playing and that phone no longer has WiFi!
Ahh--thanks! Guess I'll have to trace the GPS/GNSS from the G25 pinout when I get it opened up.

The 3rd contact to the right of them is ANT1400 for the WiFi/BT. The antenna itself is printed in conductive ink on the mid frame.
I'm working my way backwards though this thread and just saw your info here, wibble. Thanks! It doesn't sound like its likely to be an assembly issue, given that those contacts should reliably align and connect to the antenna when the mid frame is in position, but I'll inspect it regardless. I guess there's perhaps some chance the conductive inking operation was omitted on my mid frame.
