I was working on my new build and somehow (I don’t even know how) the header on the fan cable came straight off. One of the metal wires on the cable is straight which I assume is not very good. Is there any easy way to fix this or would it just be easier to buy a new fan. Thank you in advance.

Solution
There must be plastic part left somewhere so you can return contacts in it according to this schematic. https://allpinouts.org/pinouts/connectors/motherboards/motherboard-cpu-4-pin-fan/
PS. Never pull on wires but on connector itself only or that happens. Some have a small notch/clip so may have to slightly bend whole connector away from locating tab.
