So I crashed my phantom 3 standard into a tree. It fell about 40ft into grass. When I got to it the global and camera were about 5ft away. The 8 pin ribbon cable and a wide on either side came out. I have a new 8 pin but can't figure out how to get it in.... Help please. Also what are the other 2 wires? One is black and one is grey...

The black and grey are U.FL connector from the birdside ceramic antenna (you can see them inside the battery compartment)
The only way to get the ribbon cable into the AC is to open it up. There are many videos on YouTube showing you how to do it.
I have opened my AC a few times, but the first was nerve racking. The first time is also the hardest as all the holding clips are new and rigid and are very tough to crack open.
Since your ceramic antenna cable are broken, why not go for upgraded antenna and get the P3P landing gear ones which are much better than these pucks.
Birdside antenna mod version 2.0.
