I’ve been looking and so far I’ve seen that I need to dismount the logic board and detach the touch ID, but where do I connect it when I replace it?
If someone has a guide or video showing it I would appreciate it.
Is this a good question?

A random touch ID from another Mac won’t work as it’s paired with the system within a secure enclave. The only one able to replace a touch ID button would be an Apple authorized service.

How much this operation by apple?

On a 2016 model it is rather expensive because the touch ID and logic board are not independently replaceable. You would have to replace both. So for a 13" model I would expect to pay probably $600 or more.

Can you better explain why you think you need to replace the Touch ID sensor.

I’m buying it from a friend but it doesn’t have the touch ID. I’m thinking of buying a new Touch ID from another PC and put it back.
