Tachometer fix

[*=center]So on my 91 Camaro rs, my gauge cluster doesn't work really at all, it'll go on while my engines starting but dies as soon as it turns on, now I recently had to pull the gauge cluster for something else and I saw that the "flex film connector?" On the gauge was crumpled, so I sorta straightened it not thinking much of it, then reinstalled the gauge and my tachometer was no actively on but just highly inaccurate, so I pulled the cluster again and this time fully straightened the pin and even cleaned it but now the tachometer is completely dead again ☹️ my cluster is almost completely perfectly fine except for this so I don't necessarily wanna replace the thing, any help on how to repair these pins would be nice https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.thirdgen.org-vbulletin/1080x1920/snapchat_1681370077_d9c701502d2a451576a0c9f26ccea2164102f611.jpg Sorry for the bad quality but it's the bottom right pin that's messed up, hopefully u can see that's it's pretty much just crushed up and deformed
