The solution is to rebuild a pad out of thin wire and scratch a little bit of the solder mask off to expose the torn trace and connect the thin wire and the old trace. Then solder the new power flex. You have to be careful not to expose any ground copper and to protect your joint with kapton tape or something to prevent it from coming into contact with anything conductive, but....it can be done.
This is microsoldering though, so you almost certainly want to send your board out for microsoldering and get it back fixed and ready to resume your repair.
If you can't find a local microsolderer, this is the kind of mail in repair we do all day everyday. Click my name to find your way to our mail in repair website.
