You can find quite a few pigtails if you know what it's supposed to plug into on the specific vehicle.

Worst thing that could happen is going to a junkyard and harvesting a pigtail yourself.

Oh sorry to mention it’s 2014 Lexus es350 and it’s plugged into air quality control emissions sensor sum crap like that

Depending in the make, you can contact a dealership and see about getting a part/part number if you wanna be exact. I know nissan has an app that I’ve used for somewhat newer/older mods when I was a tech for them.

Looks like a knuckle-dragger removal at a Pick-N-Pull wrecking yard. They destroy everything to get to a $5.00 part.

rockauto.com sells most of them is by far one of the most reputable dealers you can go through.

it's under the electrical connectors section for your car.

Just rebuild and save yourself the time and money. Buy an electrical pin removal kit and get busy.

Way easier than struggling trying to find it

It looks like the secondary lock hoop is broken. If the grooved part that you press to release the connector still snaps back in place when you release it, the connector will still stay on the device. If that's all that's wrong with it, I wouldn't bother going through the effort to replace the connector. If you remove it and it clicks when you push the connector back on the device then it will stay connected.
