@soulsilverjd that actually looks like a capacitor :-) Anyhow, this is fairly straightforward, if you know how to solder. Simple soldering the piece back on should resolve your issues. If you do not know how to, protect this component like its a diamond. There are no schematics out for your Steam Deck. You lose that part, the solution will get more expensive and complicated. So, protect it. Get a multimeter that measures capacitance and measure the component. Then you will at least know what you got.

Anyhow, the only way to fix this, is by soldering it back on.

@soulsilverjd nope. The orientation does not matter. How about you practice on some old board and get a feel for it first :-) Best of luck to you and I am sure you'll get it fixed.
