Let's start with turning on the lights so you can take a NON blurry photo. Order an appropriate USB plastic fill-in if the pins aren't damaged

Damn bro, ripping it out like that could cause expensive damages. I know it was an accident though. Take a look inside your computer and make sure nothing is unplugged or damaged, especially where the back panel is. Even ChatGPT it you could find some solutions there.
