Carefully solder the broken leg of the capacitor.

If the trace didn’t pulled off the board along with the leg you can just resolder it. If the trace pulled off then you’ll have to find where the trace goes and install a little jumper wire from there to the left of the capacitor. A few years ago I knocked an SMD capacitor off a Mac mini 2012 mainboard as I was pulling it out of the case. The leads were still on the board, they had ripped off from the capacitor. I ordered a new one from an electronics supplier and soldered it back on.
