Thank you so much for this thorough explanation. You clearly understand how to repair HP printers. Perhaps I’m using an incorrect term for the very thin white plastic strip on the right hand side of the cartridge carrier. This strip is a fraction of the size of the strip on the left hand side of the carriage. This is the thin strip that is disconnected and which I would like to reconnect.
