In an attempt to clean my PS4, I accidentally pulled out the PSU connector to the motherboard. I can see one of the legs has a piece of MB come out along with it and being aware of some of the answers here for similar problem, I need to understand how the jumper wire would be laid down on the MB.
I have attached an image with my understanding of this. Please advise
Is this a good question?

This connector is providing power to the Bluray drive.
As the missing pad is directly connected to a via, I would try to visually find where it goes (the via goes through the motherboard and reaches the other side).
Then I would gently remove the green protection with a scalpel and verify with a Ohm-meter that my visual investigation was right.
After doing this, I would solder the connector just as it should, and solder a wire to the orphan leg. The other side of this wire would be soldered on the right place, found by the visual investigation.
Be aware that this connector is now weaker than before, each remaining pad supporting 1/3 more pulling force than expected, so be gentle next time you pull on it.
If you're not confident with your visual investigation, I can check on my motherboard tonight and let you know. I have a SAA-001 model but I don't expect many differences on this area.

Yeah, sure, that would be great. Just wanted to point out that this is the PSU connector to the motherboard and not the one that powers the Blu-ray.
I don't have the same motherboard model than yours, but I think it may help.
My TH3302 connector is not the optical drive connector but the PSU connector as you mentioned. This connector has 5 wires on my model, only 4 in yours.
On my SAA-001 model, I have 2 wires for permanent +5V, 2 wires for ground, and 1 wire for the wake-up command.
On the other side of my motherboard, each via ends with a solder blob, so in my case it would be easy to solder a wire from the connector ophan leg to the corresponding solder blob.
On your motherboard, I don't know. Can you take a picture of the other side?
Here are two pictures of my MB (one of each side):

P.S.: While your motherboard is still accessible, I would appreciate if you could help me on that one: PS4 SMD components values needed
