I've connected the old board antenna connector and this causes it to have much more range than the ifixit purchased one

Hi @thing

Contact ifixit about the problem and get it replaced.

Looking at the part, there is a lifetime warranty on it. Scroll down to the Make a Claim section for the contact link.

Hopefully you haven't voided the warranty by reflowing the board.
