Does this ribbon cable still look functional?

I just purchased a junked N3DS LL for cheap with the intention of restoring it and ordered all the necessary parts for repair. including an upgraded IPS screen from IFIXIT. I just received the lcd and noticed a small bulge on the ribbon cable and after closer inspection this is what it looks like. I don’t see any broken connections but what do you think. The device hasn’t arrived so I couldn’t test it right now if I wanted to. I’m just worried once I try they won’t accept it for exchange or return.
