Physical damage to USB

My Acer fell off the bed and crashed into the floor with a wireless mouse usb chip in it. The impct pushed the usb deep into the outlet. Is there a way I can fix this issue while salvaging the usb? If the usb outlet is destroyed how can I manually replace the USB?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

@glipse the phusical port is soldered to the motherboard. Depends on which USB port. The one on the left can simply be replaced since it has it’s own board and flex cable. The ones on the right are soldered to the board. Check on here You would have to remove the motherboard and then try to find a match for your USB port. Use this video to work on your computer.
