R60 Positive Cable Replacement Help

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help and hoping someone knowledgable here can offer some thoughts. I have a 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman S and the positive battery terminal was totally corroded and then the clamp was overtighten and broke. Now it will not give a solid connection and needs to be replaced. Does anyone have experience they can share on this? I ordered a used replacement part but cannot find any install instructions anyone on the web. I am trying to do it myself if possible and am capable with a good model or a service manual but I could not find this anywhere. Thank you so much for your help!!

The used one does not look to have the bolt?

This is what they look like new. Diagram here: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...36#12427603567 number 1 is that shirt IBS cable. number 5 is that other long cable.

Yes the used one doesn't have the positive terminal bolt, however I have my original bolt so that is okay. I received my used cables and now I need to either completely replace all the cables or just try to replace the positive terminal clamp. Any thoughts? I still cannot find instructions for replacing the entire harness anywhere. Any help is much appreciated.
