The surface mount connectors are available on Amazon. Those I've seen
have solderable mounting taps to provide mechanical support.

But as others have noted, replacing this part is quite difficult unless
you have the appropriate equipment - a soldering iron is not enough.

Much of the time the hot air is the way to go. For the hobbiest you can
get a hot air and soldering iron station for about $ 75 or less.

Go to you tube and look at how to do it. Not too bad after getting some
old circuit boards and practicing. Sometimes the Kapton tape use as a
heat resistance and shield will be a big help to keep the hot air from
melting out too much stuff.
