Is this sentence grammatically correct?

Since the photograph is not clear, I can't identify the missing part, but I can provide the image of the part on which the missing part was supposed to be associated
  

Top answer

Hi, Since the photograph is not clear, I can't identify the missing part, but I can provide the image of the part with which the missing part was supposed to be associated. 'Associated with' is not a suitable term. A part is attached to another par t or mounted on another part.

Since the photograph is not clear, I can't identify the missing part, but I can provide the image of the part which is supposed to be associated with the the missing part.
