When I took my tablet apart to replace the USB port, I noticed the one contact for the wifi antenna was pushed down, so I straightened it and when I did it broke off. I tried soldering it back on, but my soldering iron wasn't melting the solder right and left a big glob of solder. Should I leave the glob solder as is, or remove it and retry to solder the connector back on. The glob of solder is about the same height as the connector, and isn't touching anything.

Remove it. put a little melted solder on the end of the connector, and then heat the wire to attach the connector and let it melt the solder on the connector. It will be a cleaner connection.

More like should I just use the glob of solder as the connector or remove the solder and reattach the broken connector.
