Background: My screen cracked so I ordered a new one off Amazon. I have replaced the screen before on this phone so I knew how to do it. In the process of disconnecting things from the main logic board the antenna contact also came off the board.
(This is a stock photo just to show what came off, my solder job looks much worse)
I tried to resolder on the contact and then reattach the antenna but now I can rarely send text messages and my 4G barely works. What part of the contact do I need to make sure is soldered to the board? Is there a place where I can order just a new contact since I may have screwed this one up? Or can I just solder the wire to the board without the contact? (My soldering skills are not very good so I know my first attempt wasn't very good)
Any help on this would be really appreciated.
