Look at the pic showing the pads and you will see a lot of geen pcb paint covering the earth plain of the board.

The 5 pads at the rear are the important ones, none of the rest matter as you must scrape away the green paint either side of the port to solder the jacket down, THIS is what makes the port strong and far far better than any glue could ever do.

As long as that device has not been sabotarged by water then it is a far easier fix than some i have done when all 5 of those rear pads have ripped off the board making it no choice but to link wire them back direct to the pins on the port from components the tracks actually go too.
