How to Repair Ripped Battery Connector?

Don’t ask how but I accidentally ripped of the main battery connector on my 2017 MacBook Pro while replacing the battery. I have a soldering iron and am pretty confident I can repair it I just don’t know where to solder to. I’ll add a photo. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

1,2,6,7,8,9 is PPVBAT_G3H_CONN (all positive)

3,4,5,10,11,12 is GND (all negative)

Use your multimeter on the battery connector to determine positive and negative connection

Thanks that worked and the computer was running but while putting it back together I shorted the battery 😭 Does this mean I have to get another battery or does it reset after a while?

EDIT: It's all good and working now!
