What is this connector? [SOLVED] (sh.itjust.works)

I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

That's what I was thinking, and somehow stumbled into this right after posting. it looks much closer to the shape of the connector https://tinycircuits.com/products/jst-sh-2-pin-connector?variant=55022349895&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&srsltid=AfmBOorg-Wh2nrGks_kktyhZaXNQ5tGwCNVpqTVdqOvcaC-65Lbg_TL0KP4

Is there a way to measure/get identifiable info for it to ensure i'm looking up the right connectors and not just plugging in whatever string of keywords i think might pull it up?
