The video below shows how to get to that part. I've never done it, but it seems like a fairly simple job.

Yes, that is the part I linked above.

If it's too complicated, you can contact DJI support and send your Mavic in to be repaired.

Can't I just replace the part selected in red, which it seems (to me) that it's attached to the bottom part by the 4 rubbers ?

Yes, you can buy just the gimbal mount too -- if nothing else is damaged. Here are a few places where you can purchase it:
It's not an OEM part, but I'm assuming it'll work well since it's made by FStop Labs. They sell quality replacement parts.

So what I order doesn't work ? It seems it's like the gimbal mount... no ?
 
Sorry -- I thought you were asking if you could just buy the metal mount. The part you ordered is an OEM part and it'll work. If all you need is that metal mount, you should be able to replace it without opening your Mavic.
 
You should be all set then!

Quick question pls. What is the functionality of the silver cable that holds the camera to the Mavic? I have one broken stran.
Aside from each having to replace the ribbon cable and shock mount. Thanks
 
Sendas, you'll need to partially disassemble it to get to where you can replace the gimbal plate. You can't just remove it from below. Watch several videos, and take your time. I replaced mine today (I'm no expert) in about two hours.

I'd like to know the answer as well. That the gimbal plate is a chappy part is increasingly obvious.
