I am replacing the left fan following the perfect instructions. When lifting the cable to disconnect, the bracket attaching it to the logic board came off as well. Is it glued or soldered on? I don’t see any solder marks. How can I repair this so the fan will run?

They are soldered to the logic board, but the solder joints are very small and hard to see unless you have proper light and magnification or, even better, a suitable microscope. With proper tools you should be able to see and solder back 4 solder joints on the connector it was mistakingly lifted and on the board.
