Can I fix it and how?
Depends if the tracks are broken/lifted or not. Hard to tell from the photo.
In theory some flux and fresh solder and it can be done. The pitch is small but if you drag across the contacts the solder mask will probably keep the solder where you need it.
You want lots of flux so a flux pen in addition to what is in your solder.
The corner pads are for holding the connector down. Without those you will rip the tracks off when plugging and unplugging the connector.
Hard to tell if the connector is damaged. Maybe...

OH broke the mini USB A charging port off the baby monitor.
Can I fix it and how?
For want of a better phrase, I have gross solder motor skills, but haven't tried out my fine motor skills.
Questions:
Cheers!
Edit: I should add that I would also be happy to have the charging port outside the case.
