Will work if done right, this isn't just a loose connection you can shim up, without re-bonding the "grey bar" will remain.

Yeah that is what I am thinking. But holding it down with what? Tape would work? People seem to be using ACF bonding tape. And what to clean it with?

the cleaning is probably only necessary if you can see obvious contamination on the contacts... since we don't know where it has been so to speak.... ie. how did it get like that?

at this point, try just pressing down with something that is non-sticky so that it can be removed and something else can be tried... ie. not tape as trying to remove it or reposition afterwards is probably not going to happen easily.
Some sort of thermal pad / foam / rubber tubing... etc.

It probably happened when I was assembling the tv back after installing the new led strips. I bought this tv new in late 2017. Seems like the thermal pad worked for some people on this forum. I ordered this one:

I found it good practice to gently fold the driver boards over onto the face of the panel and secure them with painters tape. It's too easy to catch them on something while moving the panel around.

Hopefully you'll find a way to fix this. As was said earlier having part of the tab still attached means alignment will be much less of an issue for you. Good luck.

Yeah thats def how it should be done. I thought I was super careful it must have happened with I was trying to close everything up. SO disappointing. Only had the TV for 3 years.

Yeah I was looking into that and the bonding tape but the shipping times are longgg. Mid-June type. Sucks.

If this thermal pad from amazon doesn't work I will hope to recoup some money by selling parts on ebay and likely will have to buy a TV.
