andman616, not a very clear description:-) post an image of the missing part/ the area of the logic board with your question. That way, we can see what you see. Use this guide Adding images to an existing question to add images.

i just added it im not sure if you guys can see it or not but its the one right next to the rear facing camera where you screw in at the very top of the housing.

Andman you mean the chip on the flex cable and 2 screw points? That's GPS front end module. Without it you lose GPS and cellular diversity reception.

andman616 , this should be the part you are looking for. It is definitely widely available. Do a search for GPS antenna flex cable. Hope this helps, good luck.
