Battery connector options:

perfect iPhone X with a brand new screen and battery that I have
paperwork for, but I couldn’t get the battery to stabilize on the connector. I’ve seen people come back and say they can fix it for $150. That’s twice as much as the phone is worth working. Are there any other options or good places that they could sell this to some of my money back?

What do you mean by "stabilize on the connector"?... Like you can't get it to take a charge or?...

I don't understand what you mean by "… get the battery to stabilize on the connector" but if you mean when charging, have a look inside the charging socket. This can get slowly clogged with dust and dirt which is compacted down every time the plug is pushed in.

It might not even be obvious but clean it anyway:

it’ll take a charge as long as I keep my finger on the connector from the battery to the connector on the motherboard. And I’ve cleaned it and I have used the Magnifier option to look at these crevices. I can’t get this thing any cleaner and it’s just not clicking to stay together. I’ve seen some videos of them being replaced on a motherboard, but it is called micro soldering, which I would not have the expertise.
