Hi, sorry i come almost three years after the "war". Don’t worry about judgment here, all the people who try to change a port of a ds know the complexity of changing it (and I’m not saying that because I’ve already changed at least 30 ports and I still sometimes brought pads!^^ ). There is still a way to save this motherboard, if in the three years she was not finished in the trash or in donor board, just put a "'jumper wire" you have to solder to the part of the port that no longer have a pad, follow the line of the pcb and remove the green protect on the pcb to be able to solder the cable and do it for the four, here is a video that will explain better than me and shows how to do (not on a ds but that explain the process) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR0lb7YI...
