This cable is really fragile, I found it easier to flip the retaining flap then remove all 7 screws in step 42 then gently pull the logic board toward you freeing the SIM board cable.
For me, it was impossible to accomplish this step without first removing the 7 screws from the Logic Board and disconnecting the Logic Board connectors (Wi-Fi, Speaker, Dock/Lightning) at the bottom. Then, I could slide the Logic Board downward just enough to pull free the SIM cable. When reassembling, I attached the 3 antenna connectors first, then the SIM cable, before installing the 7 screws and Logic Board connectors (Wi-Fi, Speaker, Dock/Lightning) at the bottom. Went a bit easier.
