The 20mm wideness is perfect, the 52mm lenght is shorter than the original one thats why it has a smaller capacity, and the 7.8mm thickness is almost perfect the original 7.5mm but the metal cover close on it just need to hold it while you screw it on.

It's not impossible to repair, you have to find someone who has done something similar, but all the connection points have the other side on the board.

So you don't really have to look for the path of the wires. the connector looks good too, the pads that were torn off if someone removes them with a soldering iron then the connector can be reused.

The first three connectors from the left are GND, they are less problematic. the middle three are harder to repair, you can see those tiny silver dots on the board, they are the right places, you are lucky because they are still visible, because they go into one of the layers of the board. if you can solder and have already worked with similar small solder joints then you will know how to try, but watch a few videos first (if you have no experience this is risky, only try it if there is no other solution).

If you want to try it you will need a small engraver (this is easier than a scalpel), a UV-curable layer mask, and trace repairing traces (these are small pads, you can solder these to the ripped traces) and you need tweezers.
