The USB connector is mounted directly onto the systemboard.
As it is a SMD (surface mount device) type component, you’ll need SMD soldering skills and tools to carry out the repair. It is not a job for novice repairers.

Here’s a link to the ifixit [guide|112291] guide. It is useful as it shows how to open the phone so access to the connector is possible.
If this seems too daunting a task, contact a reputable, professional mobile phone repair service (or two or three to get an average of what the repair should actually cost) and ask for a quote to repair the connector.
If you decide to get it professionally repaired, also check what guarantees or warranty they give on their workmanship.
