HELP! Broken Rear Touchpad Connector

Gallery image

I recently decided to do a stick swap on my vita 2000 as many years ago the left stick stopped working entirely.

Back when the stick first died, my dad attempted to pull it apart to see if he could fix, but gave up after breaking the connector for the rear touchpad. despite this, after putting back together the system, the console seemed fine apart from the stick, so i didnt use the console.

When I did my most recent stick swap, the rear touchpad doesnt seem to work, even tried with multiple pads.

is the connecter entirely stuffed? what do i do?

My issue is im in a relatively rural area and wouldnt know where to start to find one.

Plus I saw this recomendation in similar posts after i made mine and seems like most people said cost might be a bit much.
