Can I add an external vtx to this board.

I managed to rip the ufl connector and the traces off the aio whoop fc! It has esc, fc and vtx built into one board. I would like to add an external vtx to it rather than buy a new one but I have two questions:

1) What pads/pins do I solder to?
2) Will the spot where the ufl was short out because there is no antenna?

Thanks for any help,

Mr_Stripes

Edit: The first screen shot is of the board I have, the pnp version. The second one is the bnf version. The screenshot of the bnf version includes the labels for the pins so I included it. Also the signal trace is the only one that got pulled off. The two gnds are still there.

That board isn’t really set up for an external VTX. And even if it was, that internal VTX without an antenna would cause some heat issues real quick.

I suggest scratching around a bit where that UFL was. Maybe try and find some hidden copper to direct solder to.
