Chosen Solution

Hi! I am determined to finish this repair myself! (Mostly because it suddenly dawned on me that I could have just bought a fancy external mousepad by now) Anyways, I have watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieZh6yww… a half dozen times (Bless Binh and his Ginea Pig) And of course when I got the parts I got all spitfire like I could just talk to computers like Binh and just went at it and foolishly pulled out the connection part that is mounted to the left just above the center screw with the old cable. Stoooooooooopid. What do I do? There are two broken pins. :( Do I get to add a soldering knife to my tool kit? I promise to be patient. I should have been patient and watched the video and followed along. Learning is expensive. Help me please? please. thank you!
