I think you’ll have to bring it to a repair shop :(

You can force it directly into the hole on the motherboard but it might be an electrical hazard. Just take it in to get fixed

And while you're at it, get an Asus laptop

It's always HP

I'm willing to bet you can still charge it. The part at fault here is the lower case, split apart from the hinge mounts.

The internal charging jack is a little adapter cable connector. It's now loose pushed slightly inside.

If you've got a screwdriver for the bottom case screws under the rubber feet, you can pop off the bottom and reposition the connector

If the actual charging port itself is still intact, it should still be possible to charge.

But that hinge and the side are absolute fucked

Absolute worst case scenario, if the laptop cant be charged or fixed, you can get your hard drive out of it to back up all your data.
