Buy a new one. In order to get it fixed, you would need a crimping tool and a new RJ45 head. I personally like making my own custom lengths of CAT6 cable, but they’re cheap enough you shouldn’t need to worry about it.

I got the tools necesary but i have a problem aligning the small coloured wires into type A.

Swearing helps, it’s a frustrating task.
Try laying the wires across a piece of tape to help keep them aligned. Painters tape or a narrow strip of duct tape should work. Striping back just the right length actually makes it easier for me since the wires can’t move around as much.

Some RJ55 heads come with a small plastic guide for aligning the wires. Otherwise, it just takes practice.
