On my first liva, I thought the little plastic protective cover would just
pull off over the connector but that pulled the connector off instead.  I
managed to get the other antenna on, and soldered the wire of the one I
broke on.  I get very poor results on that one.  I think that the connector
is actually coaxial so that makes sense, I am basically grounding one of
the antenna inputs.  For my next one, I got a pair of 3x glasses, and very
carefully lined it up.  It takes a while, but I managed to do it.  I get
good scan results on it.  After that, the third one was a breeze.

Good luck!
