I ordered a camera for my pi zero w and got the wrong one. Can it be trimmed to fit the zero’s smaller connectors

The CSI port of the Zero W is smaller than that of the Pi 2 and 3. You will need an adapter cable to make it fit. I'd say it's rather complicated to DIY that.

See e.g. here: Raspberry Pi Zero Camera Adapter or Camera Cable - Raspberry Pi Zero edition and others.

... and some nice additional information about the pinout is to be found here.
