Mamba MkIII JST PLUG HELP

When disassembling my Mamba with MCG grip to replace a swtich that had broken one of the connectors on the adapter board broke off

It's a 4 pin angled connector I think they are called JST connectors.

However they come in a bewildering number of types and I was looking for some help to establish the correct type so as I can get a replacement to solder a new one back on.

In the picture I've labelled it with a red arrow I tried to include a page from the instructions but the file won't load.

In the instructions on page 2 the board is item 4 and the plug that's broken off is X2 which is labelled on the board

Be very grateful if somebody from VKB could assist me

Attached is the page from the instructions

Board is item #4
Plug that's broken off is X2 as labelled on the board

As an alternate if that board is available as a replacement I'd gladly purchase it instead

It is necessary to select with a step of SH 1mm and the required number of pins.

Dear Colleagues. :)
I dare to correct you.
The required connector is sized with a pitch of 1.25 mm..

Thank you that's fantastic, I ordered the plugs from your link, very much appreciated.

I had searched Ali Express before but thinking the pitch was 1mm could not find anything suitable
