What is this pad called? Antenna connector?

Not sure how it happened, but I need a replacement part for the wifi/Bluetooth connector (F side) for my PS4 Pro 7215b. The other ones are fine and do not look like this. I'm not in an environment to solder and remove, so I'm also looking for pricing too on a job like this. Thank you!

You could try to bend it back to it's original form. Otherwise, solder on a new one is also no big deal if you're skilled in soldering with hot Air Station.

It still "sits" in it, but obviously not well. I gotta find me a guy with a soldering station who can do this. I appreciate it.

You could just solder the part on as well. You’d need a lot of heat to do it but you can just solder the antenna to the connector assuming you’ll never need to remove it again. Not the best solution for sure, but one to get you going till you figure out how you want to proceed.
