C-port replacement and PCB mounted pads

Hi all,

I have a butane soldering iron, removed the cport as carefully as possible using the heat nossle.. I think I might have damaged the pads or they're lifted.. The pads are yellow/copper and not without solder like most of the videos.

I may have damaged the board, I'm not sure.

Can someone please assist with looking at the pic and advise if I can proceed to mount the new port and tips on how to get solder to stick to the pads.

Yes bridging on some of the pads, will clean those with copper/flux.. I have petroleum jelly btw and have concerns bout the GND pad next to mounting hole..

Thank you.

You have ripped every solder trace from the board. It might be repairable by an experienced technician but will definitely cost more now to repair than it would have done.
