    Damaged micro RF coaxial socket on wireless board

    I have an HP Spectre 13-4002dx laptop. The bottom of the case was bulging so I opened it up and removed th swollen battery. putting it back together I noticed the micro RF antenna connectors had popped off the wireless module. I am not able to get them back on, rather, I can but they do not stay. Looking at the sockets on the wireless module they seem beat up. Don’t know if I did that or that is the reason they came off.
    Rather than purchase a new wireless module (and perhaps antenna cable) I was wondering if there is a conductive adhesive that I could use that would not affect the wireless performance.

    Plenty of conductive glues on the market, personally I’ve never used them so can’t comment.
    Goggle will be your friend there.

    I usually prefer to solder, but probably not an option in this case.
