I think that, if this is the case and you retrieve the socket you should be able to glue it back on and add a dab of solder at the 5 points to reconnect the connections.
It looks to me like only the 3 closely spaces pads in a line would need to be soldered if you've glued the connector down; the other 2 look to be just for physically fixing the connector.

Comparing your photo with the ones in this link, it appears that you may have ripped off the battery socket from the garmin when you removed the old battery plug? On the top right corner of the circuit board in your photo there should be a plastic socket for you to plug the battery into. Instead there's just 5 spots of solder........: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?33752-Edge-800-Replacing-Battery-Pics-and-some-info-not-complete-yet/page2
If you have the old battery see if the socket is still attached. From memory, the angle you pull the battery plug away from the garmin is key. In one direction it comes away easy, in others it won't and you may well pull off the socket with the plug.

Let me know what you find......
