I think I have broken my antenna connector. It used to connect to my wifi, but unlike my laptop and phone, the speed was very slow to the point it won't to connect to google for minutes. So I tried to tighten the antenna, but instead of fixing it I think I broke it more since the fixed connector is now loose. Now it can only detect my mobile hotspot at a close range. Removing the antennas now doesn't affect the signal reading at all.

How do I fix this? Do I just need a size 8 wrench to tighten it or I need to open the whole wifi board? If I have to remove it, what type of screw I need? It looks very hard to open from above without de-assembling my build.
