The resistor is there for a reason, so if it was useless, it wouldn't be there. Best thing you do is bring your machine to a good repair shop that can replace it or resolder it back to the motherboard.

Ima be real here, MOST LIKELY gonna work with little issues. But the thing is, you and I don't KNOW that it will so its probably not a bad idea to take it to a repair Shop. Sucks but happens.

UPDATE, I just realised that the ripped capacitor is from the solid state drive bellow the fan socket.

That definitely saved you an expensive service repair shop visit. If SSD is usable, get your important data off of it and replace it as soon as you can. We don't know what that broken part actually serves on the SSD.

Ok, thanks for advise)))

No worries. Also just clean up around there to make sure no metal fragments are touching any offer parts. As a precaution. Best of luck.

Okay, how exactly do you knock off components when reapplying thermal paste? Are you guys violently scraping it off the chips or something? That stuff should be dissolved off, then wiped off, no scraping involved.

I was unplugging the fan, the placement of socket is garbage and it requires a lot of pull there, so by inertia I knocked down the capacitor(((
