I'd guess that the antenna connector came loose and just has to be pressed back in.

If not, the antenna was damaged, but if you're getting a good signal (you didn't say how good - you can use LTE Discovery to find out), it's probably connected, just not completely. (Of course, that requires disassembling most of the phone, something they wouldn't prefer to do, and since it was caused by something you did they are going to charge you for the repair - mostly for disassembling and reassembling the phone. Even a dollar for pushing the connector down is a rip-off, but the repair could easily run $100.)
