That sucks man. The part is less than $10, but as another commenter stated it takes a bit of skill to perform the replacement. If we were irl and not on an anonymized website I'd help you out no charge, but alas. You can search eBay for "Nintendo 2DS FPC ZIF 4 pin connector" if you want to give it a shot though.

I don't know much about nintendo specifically, but I've done a lot of this sort of soldering. if you didn't have the tools and skills to do what you were trying to do when you broke it, you're best off finding somebody who has them and knows where to get replacement parts. removing the broken connector would be fairly easy, and replacing it with a new one is probably possible, but it'll take the sort of soldering that's done under a microscope, because hot air will just melt the plastic.

You want it repaired or rigged. Repaired, find a shop with tools, experience and parts. Rigged? I would make sure all clean with alcohol and wait for the alcohol to evap. Then hold it in place with tweezers, and put a drop of gel-CA on either side on the wings. Remember to hold it a while, CA only cures superfast on skin and things that contain water. on plastic it needs to absorb water from the air and can easily take many minutes. Breath on it while holding.
