Accidentally popped off battery connector

Block Image

I am a first-time repairer, I was replacing the Joy-con on my Switch using the tools I’d received in the Joy-con repair kit, and i accidentally popped off the battery connector. I am trying not to panic here, but I have no soldering tools. I presume superglue would be too risky a solution?

Looks like part number is 0781710002

2 pin socket--same as the connection for Steamdeck haptic/touchpad which is what I needed it for. Confirmed by dissambling my Joycon and fitting the broken off socket from the Steamdeck onto the Switch battery.

no you should solder the connector in place cause the pins contact to the logic board will be bad. Any electronic repair shop can do it for cheap.
