I followed instructions for replacing the trackpad on my macbook air, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the keyboard ribbon cable back in. It seems so flexible, how can I get the force needed?

Try a piece of electricians tape cut off a piece aprox. 1.5" fold over one end to make a pull tab cut it to the width of the ribbon cable and place on the ribbon cable to help you pull it in.
