Logic board power connector damage

Hey guys… I accidentally put too much pressure while soldering the logic board powerconector out. I tear down the pad also. Is there any possibility to fix this?

That’s the battery connector and unfortunately the 2 SMC pads were lifted. Best thing would be to make jumpers to D6950 on flip side of the board and consolidate them with UV curable rosin.

Can you send me link to some schematics or just photo of that component?

@jrkstbl Image added. It's right on the opposite side, jumper pin 1 to your first missing pad (from left to right in your picture) and pin 2 to your second missing pad. Good luck with it.

and the rest of the cables will stay on the powe connector? Is there any possibility to check out the order of the cables on the battery?

or does it even matter?

@jrkstbl You shouldn't need to do anything else beside running jumpers and resoldering the plastic connector. From the picture everything else seem to be in order.
