    You sure this is USB-C?

    A USB-C port has 20 pins, two rows of 10.

    Your image appears to only have two traces leading up to the ripped off pads. I would assume that perhaps there are vias to the other side of the board that aren’t visible due to lossy image quality, which would more closely match USB2 Mini or Micro B (4 Pins).

    Ultimately, this is fixable with the right tools and skills. It looks like the main ground pads for mechanical support of the receptacle are still there. You would then need to expose parts of the trace on the PCB, solder jumper wires to the pins of the receptacle, and then solder those jumper wires to the corresponding trace.

    The best “guide” is going to be watching a multitude of videos of how it’s done. Look up USB Port or Receptacle replcement.

    Your supply requirements:

    Fine tipped soldering iron

    Solder

    Flux

    Thin enamel wire

    Magnification (I prefer a microscope)

    Fiberglass pencil or small blade (scalpel, x-acto, that sort of thing)

    Tweezers
