Wi-Fi address n/a - wifi and bluetooth not working

Wifi and Bluetooth buttons are greyed out. Tried turn on/off, resetting network and completely erasing the device and still not working. In the about section the wi-fi address is n/a. Brought it to apple store and they ran diagnostics. They said it failed "rear system compatibility check" and the wi-fi presence check said the module was not found. Issue happened after a short drop and the phone had a protective case and screen. I was told not repairable. Cellular works. Any idea if fixable or not? thank you

It is repairable if you do a component level repair on the board. Apple won’t do it, they just swap the whole phone.

Do you happen to know what components exactly ? I imagine it’d be the Wi-Fi antenna and Bluetooth antenna?

@Jay Cox Not the antenna, this is a chip problem.
