HELP: Power Supply broke from Motherboard

I was cleaning my PS4 for the first time in almost a year (out of country for work and PS4 was left behind to collect dust, unfortunately)

"Morgan Requiem, the only way to fix it by resoldering the connector. Hang on to it and don't lose it. It can be resoldered. The part that came off is the solder pad. Looks like you need to either rebuild it or scrape part of the trace carefully until you expose the solder, then solder a wire to the trace and the connector. You do have to remove the mother board for this job. If you have never soldered something like this before, consider sending it out for repair.

Update

Use something like a very fine scalpel and carefully scrape until you expose the copper on the point outlined. then solder a wire from that point to the leg of the connector. See if the image clarifies this."

"Morgan requiem ,

I accidentally did the same exact thing and wondered if you were able to solder the connector back in place?"

A friend has just had this problem happen, because the pins on the component that connects to the motherboard were all bent and &&^&@@ up to begin with. I'm going to do my best to solder it back on, I'll let you know the results.

Is there any hope for me?? I think I have completely broken it
