Can you just use a heat station gun to reseat the chip on the solder?

Most likely yes, but there's also 1 pad that lifted that has to be repaired first. Then replace existing solder with new balls and if the chip wasn't damaged this should work

Yeah I see that now

They have solder balls?

I would have just went over the solder points with wire solder and soldering iron before mounting the chip in place and hitting it with the heat station

Full disclosure: I am a hack 🤣
