It’s best to replace the mic after this error since the wires will never be secure again as there is no tolerance to replace the connectors and you will probably break them if you lift it up for some retention (and ruin the mic), but if you can reinstall the wires and keep them in with some confidence it won’t happen again, you don’t need to BUT you need to be careful if you’re doing a repair that requires board removal. It’s best if you have the original Apple tape to reduce the chances of the mic failing without warning again. Eventually it’ll happen again, so if you run into an issue again check the mic first. '''''If you depend on it, replace it so you know it will not be an issue going forward.'''''

If you can reinstall the wires and keep them in with some confidence it won’t happen again easily, you may be able to rewire the mic and save your money.

Eventually it’ll happen again, so if you run into an issue again remember to check the mic first. '''''If you depend on it, replace it so you know it will not be an issue going forward.'''''
Also if you take this to a repair shop please warn them you rewired it to save the mic so they know they need to be careful with the microphone you broke. Don't try and hide it.

It’s best to replace the mic after this error since the wires will never be secure again, but if you can reinstall the wires and keep them in, you don’t need to BUT you need to remember to check it when the board comes out if you don’t have the factory tape Apple used - it will eventually come out again.
