Can I replace a broken-off inverter socket?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I was going through the step by step directions to replace the hard drive, got as far as Step 10, and when I tried to pull up the inverter connector, it pulled the socket right off the circuit board; I wasn't pulling that hard, but apparently the cable connection was stronger than the adhesive.

Is it toast at this point, or can I somehow re-affix the socket?  The four wires seem to be intact, and I can align them with the four traces; I don't see soldering points on the board, so do I just line them up and stick it down with some soft of adhesive?
