80 USD!!!! what the hell, there is a guy on youtube which repair tracks for 30USD, the problem normally is the shipping and handling.
I know right I felt like I was getting scammed so I took it home with me it looks like a ez fix for someone that has experience with this kind of things

Just get the connector yourself and a Solder iron, solder, and flux, I would practise soldering on some trash electronics or just soldering together wires to get the hang of using the solder iron, before doing it on the switch. Should be an easy fix though. You could maybe even ask around with some friends, family to see if anyone knows how to solder. Good luck.

I'll go ahead and buy the connector and give it a fix do you know if Mobile Sentrix is safe to buy from? They have the peace I need for 1.30$

That connector part is so generic, don't think it matters where you get it. (and I dont know that site) That is awesome price though.
Yep that's all you need to fix it!

They also selling a pack of 10 for $7 but I never bought from them before so I'm not sure if it's a safe website or not

They are safe.

That way you mostly lead to another problem, max17050 blow off or the speaker jack melt. You dont really need hot air for this connector especially thermal mass around that edge is way less than anywhere.

Shows using an air gun also in this video, but you can easily install it with just the solder iron.

Thx this well help a lot but I'm still kind of nervous tho never tried doing this kind of things before so can I really do it with out the air gun? Since technically there are 2 small pieces still on the pads that I need to take out

Yep, just use solder iron and heat up till "liquidy", then use some metal tweezers to put those pieces off.

Yeah that connector is very small, with a pencil solder you can get it done, do not over heat any solder point to avoid lift the tracks and you will be ok.

use lot of flux on the lateral supports to aid to melt the solder.

Also if you can first add leaded solder to that points so the melting point lower.
