Found the Samsung RSH5UBBP fridge's defrost element spare, but connector is different

[Ade-x1]

Hi everyone!

The defrosting heating element of my Samsung RSH5UBBP was causing the main MCB to trip randomly after a few hours. After disconnecting it all is good so I'm now looking to replace it, I've also tested the continuity with a multimeter  and it fails the test. The spare part that is marked as compatible with my model of fridge has two connectors instead of one (like the piece I've removed). The fridge came with the house so I've no idea if the item was replaced in the past with a wrong one, however the only place where I could connect the extra connector is on the area above the heater and evaporator, so I doubt that's the case.
When I disconnect the panel and remove the connectors for the fan, I can see that one connector is unused (the one marked in green in the picture below):

Originally the defrosting element I've removed is connected in the connector between the other two in the area below, just where the arrow is pointing. Here's a picture without the top connector:

The spare part that any site suggests is this one and as you see it has two connectors.
So here's my question, did the previous owner installed the wrong piece and the new piece has a connector that needs to go in the area below and one in the area above (although the panel kind of press in that section so I don't think so), or the suggested part is the wrong one and I should buy the old one?
In that case, isn't odd that a connector is free and attached to nothing?

Here are two pictures of the old heating element:

Many thanks in advance

Nothing is coming up for that model number?? Samsung may have changed the part and kept the same number, hard to say they do strange things with their parts. I would connect the heater and do a forced defrost and see if it works, if so you may be good. without the extra connector. This looks like the right part from ebay?? https://www.ebay.com/itm/132877350318?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D260885%26meid%3D9e473b88ca1441cf8161ab1a5ad4e4bd%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D133012653052%26itm%3D132877350318%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuWithLambda85KnnRecallV1V2V4ItemNrtInQueryAndCassiniVisualRankerAndBertRecallWithVMEV3CPCAutoWithCassiniEmbRecallManual%26brand%3DSamsung&_trksid=p4429486.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A1328773503189e473b88ca1441cf8161ab1a5ad4e4bd|enc%3AAQAIAAABcKAO6YGL7I8ZT6VFWcHmDuKm898HGH9cNRsnG%2Fep%2BzC3UPHwPSmfpPq3b41cHxht%2FCiwo5DdbtiFsRNqRhAUlK8x2MLrmISu5pnzSn%2FhiW3P7y%2BKcxGllTjL%2BG3bIP4k8fGgzCrVY1dxXbjuBFp3vefxTYgjBXBRUWQBgGciI%2FuQ5Mjsfl%2B%2FiL4cv70dT88jKyMDJeHDYn2dYlbz3EXG75DSilKg3IW3Ez4R3nnJfRqlDSb5%2B8ywXLMlhhyMm6m3YmgZrT8csNd9xgsSU1SaEas420LoIqWX%2FBvIwMiSLiuYckO1WyEcRdyWf9saXyFidJSWNTO7mZqzcHWs9xwY6ZmpZCxHkQ%2BkTwPV7B2vnkxoYz0xXpUluGhVSXnwK47hWFrBGEspY7R0rqyhXRcwZ33qxZqMaBC9epT%2Fr9Ga3datNen9Po%2B9BchqX0dBHIEi0HGNrNJ3rdrgt0MAkrt1l%2Ft5c2LOLjIXcUXS%2FCKcYBdx|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&epid=2133045689&itmmeta=01HQSNK3C9WXFYEPG0KAPNAP5X

Hi! Yes that's definitely the part I've removed, however is not the one that all sites says being compatible with my fridge model. I am not sure if I should buy it anyway
