It would be very difficult to do this as the antenna is actually two wires, an inner conductor surrounded by a shield wire or braided wire.

You would have to be able to solder the inner conductor of the antenna cable to the inner connecting pin of the coax connector and the outer wire or braid to the outer ring connector of the coax connector without creating a short circuit between the two or by applying too much heat and lifting of the connector from the board.

Conductive adhesive might not be suitable as it may not give a low enough impedance (AC resistance) connection. You may find that the signal loss of the joined connection is too great. You're dealing with very weak (electrically speaking) high frequency radio signals, which haven't been amplified yet. The only gain is what is produced by the antenna and you don't want to reduce that in any way.

Just my view.
