Title:

Broken fan connection on logic board - replacement? other connection?

Text:

When removing my fan for cleaning, the power connection on the logic board partially broke off. Now the fan is not working any more of course.
Is there a possibility to buy a new one?
There also1also is a power connection close to the fan which is unused and looks exactly the same - can iI maybe attach the fan cable to this one or even remove it to replace the broken one?

Here is a picture of the setup with the broken connection marked in red and the other one in green:
