Is it possible to replace a contact spring on Motherboard?

Hi:

I received an LG G5 model VS987 phone. It was reported the power button did not function but on closer inspection I found 3 contact springs on the motherboard that are broken- these connect with the power button on the back panel. I have safely removed the 3 broken contact springs, and removed three good ones from another motherboard for replacements. But, how can I safely solder the new contacts to the good motherboard? Anyone done this already?

Thanks!

Tom

Thanks for your input…

Actually I`ve started researching SMD rework stations (uses hot air), that is how I will go. All this is still a bit new to me.

Is there a video you can post on where the motherboard is broken? I have the same issue with my power button which I've already replaced yet it is still not working.
