Hi there fellas. So a friend's mom handed me her laptop saying it wouldn't charge anymore. After visual inspection the power jack was pushed way back into the case and the plug simply wouldn't reach. So I disassembled the whole thing following this video : [video="https

Now here's the catch. The power jack is fine, the problem is that the socket in which it sits has been broken. Here's a picture (don't worry I will be cleaning it extensively before returning it. I don't know how it got that dirty inside...):
Now if you look closely you can see under the power jack some sort of residue from perhaps glue or something adhesive that probably helped hold it in place. My question is: how do I solve this mess? Can I glue it? I'm fairly certain that's a horrible idea hence why I'm asking you guys.
Thanks in advance!
