If the harness plug is the issue, is a replacement of that section of the wire harness the easiest answer? Swapping a new plug on seems…ambitious.
Actually, the connector's outer shell and retention mechanism is a separate part from the section with the wiring and pins etc. - it's it only the outer shell that is damaged/broken, you can easily swap in a new one or one from a donor car.
