Thanks for the quick reply. You are right, soldering those pads was very simple. The mistake I made could have been made by anybody (of any skill level) that did not know how fragile the pads are. I was checking to see if the board would be able to sit on top of my disk drive and accidentally put too much tension and the wire came free, pad and all. So now there is nothing to solder to. I circled the pads that were ripped free in the picture below.

I wouldn't say any skill level. If there was a chance that I could rip a paid off then I wouldn't do it. Plus ive never ripped a pad of a coolrunner. I think the only was back when we did the mra hacks when. I first started

but you managed to pull two pads, i think its time for a pro to look at it.

They're not fragile. The problem is (as with most thing which require hardware modification) there are people who decide by themselves they don't need instruction or tuition for soldering and just jump in with both feet.

Your tools and technique are not suited for the job. Find someone locally to fix it all for you.
