I just popped that small capacitator there.
Should I try to solder it back on?
There is no damage to it or on the solder plain itself, i grabbed the card wrong way and it popped off

Make sure to solder it back on with correct polarity. The blue semi circle is there for negative (-) terminal. If leads arent long enough get another with exact same rating and quality.

Get electronic rosin core flux solder

Make sure to not produce a cold solder joint (looks dull and flat) and dont leave the iron on the pad too long. A proper joint looks shiny

1 way to do this repair since it is not a through hole board is to put the iron on the pad, feed a good amount of solder on the pads. Then get the cap, reheat the solder ball on the pad and keep the iron there and insert the lead, hold the lead in and remove the iron do it on other side too.

Just make sure polarity is right otherwise other parts can go pop
