@anora5807 the USB-C luckily has a standard but the wire color does not. Download the pinout book from here Page 49 will tell you what signal is on what connection. Now you will need to get something like this testboard (either male or female end, since we do not know which end of yours is damaged). You can now determine which wire (color) goes to what connection on your replacement connector. Again, not sure if it is a male or female end, check Mouser.com or Digikey.com (as well as many others) for replacements.

@anora5807 then this will only work if you know what the pinout is on the Quest 2 side. Ultimately, I would think that it keeps the same standard. Check mouser.com or digikey.com as well as many others for the USB-Connector you will need.
