Headphone jack replacement possible?

Hey guys, I have a motherboard that gas been running for 2+ years and my headphone jack snapped off and got lodged inside the rear audio output of my motherboard. My stupid self tried to drill out the jack but instead broke the port itself. Is there any way I can replace it? I have the necessary tools to do so. The jack is made by lotus if you were wondering. Thank you!

Edit: the motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-Z68x-UD3H

@zantheproplayz post some picture of the broken part as well as the underside of your board with your QUESTION. It is most likely possible but you may have difficulties finding a proper replacement. You could try and match a replacement by measuring your old one and then checking with Mouser, Digikey, Jameco etc. for a replacement. Let’s see how bad this looks. Adding images to an existing question

You can’t really see the damage in picture but it a mix of plastic shavings and metal

I am actually more interested in seeing the connectors location, shape etc as well as the underside to see if it is a through-the -hole connector etc.

Its a tht connection and the whole entire thing is a rectangle like shape

@zantheproplayz

Is there any information printed on the component itself that may help to identify it.

I know that it is a 6 x RCA type but finding a complete unit is proving difficult.

You may have to connect via the front panel audio headers - see p.29 Item #12 if you can't get the required part
