LVDS connector replacement with missing pads

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

I damaged the screen LVDS (video) connector when replacing the drive on my 2017 4K 21.5 iMac.  I was able to remove the damaged connector with a soldering iron.  I have a new connector ordered from china.  Unfortunately, the mounting pads on one side were ripped off .  I think those are just for mechanical support but not sure.  If anyone knows it would be appreciated.
