Reason for jaguar short?

Hey CD,
Our team recently attended a programming workshop that required bringing the entire control system to a new location (no small feat).
During the workshop, the system started losing power and the power source read that 5.7 amps were being drawn. After disconnecting everything, we found that there was a shorted Jaguar attached to a broken Wago connector.

Is there a reason why the broken connector would have caused a short/are the two problems even related?
Where can we purchase a replacement 40amp connector for the power distribution block?
Do CIMs need to run on Jaguars this year or can we legally replace it with an 884 victor?
Thanks,
-Betsy
