Help with connector for new PCB

Help with connector for new PCB

I am making a custom digital Dash for my 1992 Nissan Y60. These are the stock connectors (3 of them) which are plugged behind the stock cluster. I don't want to cut or de pin this connector and want these to be plugged on to my custom PCB.

As the stock had flex PCB and the connectors touch the PCB from the sides, what is the best way to get my PCB to receive these points ?

I have made the 3D socket design to get it printed and lock the connectors.

I have done only basic PCB designs for my Arduino and Pi projects, so I'm lacking ideas here.

The ideas I now have are to use spring loaded pogo pins, sandwich 2 PCB and then merge to one, etc but I believe there should be an better/easier way from people with experience.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I am making a LCD dashboard using this 1920x720 Screen with touch
Using a Radxa Rock 5b+ as the brain.

My question is, I do not want the HDMI2 1920x720@60Hz text at the top right which appears for every start of the screen. also it has a No Signal when there is no display in the screen ( this i can tackle by cutting the power of Backlight when there is no power in Radxa.

The Manufacturer has given me the .bin file which is the firmware for this. How can i edit and then compile it back without bricking the device. How should i solve this ?

Thanks in Advance

(This is for a Nissan Y60 GQ coupe. Feel free to ask me anymore questions)
