Can I glue down a connector to the motherboard?

I've accidentally snapped one of the connectors on my new 3ds one of the the ones you don't have a latch on and the whole thing snapped in two and basically no longer exists. I have 4 pads on the motherboard and I've tried taping down the cable. But it won't stay down and will turn off unless I physically push down and hold. Can I glue a flex cable to the pads or solder each individual pad to the flex. I'm useless at soldering so unsure I could solder a new connector plus wouldn't know where to start. Seen the connectors for a couple quid but assume I'd just melt them and this console has already cost me an arm and a leg. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance
