Technical question about USB C port replacement

[murderfacexx87]

I have a Razer Phone 2 with the infamous non-working USB C port. There seems to be very little supply for the board itself unless it's a used part and those seem to be farelt expensive. Looking at a teardown video of the phone it looks as though the port itself is attached to a flimsy ribbon type cable attachment. If anyone has any experience with this specific part could you please tell me if there are solder points that could be either reconnected or replaced with a completely new port without replacing the whole board? A friend of mine has a a fair bit of know how when it comes to doing repairs of this sort, but I'd hate to take it apart to try and replace the port it self and risk damaging the seal of the device for no reason at all if this procedure is not even possible without a replacement of the full part. Thank you in advance for any replies. I know this question might be a long shot, but we are just trying to weigh our options and figured someone on here might have the experience to point us in the right direction.
