If you haven't broken the pcb, it or a new one could be microsoldered back on Not for beginners. Or you could get a new circuit board

Any chance of stripping it and soldering the leads directly to the board?
The charging socket isn't on the power board. It's on the motherboard. Very odd considering how close they are.
Yeah @mayer but I don't typically advise solder work, as most people aren't willing to buy even cheap tools, let alone spend the time to learn how to do very much

You have two options here. You can either replace your power jack or your entire motherboard.
Replacing the motherboard is far easier than just the power jack, but more expensive.
Replacing the power jack is very hard, which means you have to have it done for you, and parts+labor could be just as or more expensive.
Here's the guide to replace the motherboard:

You'll have to find someone to do the power jack replacement. If you are skilled with a soldering iron you might be able to attempt it, but there is no guide for it.
Here are some parts:

It's not on the motherboard, it's on the power board
