Could have been worse- you were lucky. Most people who manage to butcher this rip the socket off the board....

This should give you an idea...

Are you sure it’s the compass? The one people most often end up breaking is for the GPS, rip it clean off when yanking the top shell away from the bottom section.

How do you fix a broke off Compass connector? Can a new one be re soldered?

I’ve taken mine to a cell phone repair shop a couple times for this. Easy for them with the right tools. Turned out like this.

I wouldn’t let them fix my phone by the looks of that. Did you take the old connector with you? A good tech would have been able to solder it back to the board.

This obviously works but will be a pain if you ever need to replace the compass, lower shell or main board.

Can I even fly the drone without the compass antenna Wire attached? I can't want to spend alot of money on this problem.

2 comp repair houses said they could not reattach the socket to the m board. Cell phone guy said “no problem”. 10 min and a couple bucks later, I’m good to go.

Functionality trumps looks, no?

I wasn’t suggesting your repair might not function well. No doubt it does. My observation was simply that I would expect a tech who is capable of reworking SMD to be capable of better work than is depicted in the image you posted.
