All right, I found a few posts on the subject and it appears the general consensus is that you only need pins 1 and 2 in order for your switch to work. Going by your photo, it looks to me like pin 1 is intact; that is, the solder pad is still present so you should be able to solder the switch onto that pad.

From what I found, one of the pins goes to a test point on the other side of the board labelled PWSW. The other is supposed to be a ground. Here's a picture of the PWSW point.

This post seems to be saying that PWSW goes to pin 1, and if that's the case, you should be good there, since the pad is intact. You can always use an ohmmeter to verify continuity between PWSW and pin 1 to be safe.

So now you have to find a ground pin the connect pin 2 to. According to that Reddit thread, there's a ground connection nearby.

I think that's the square they're talking about; you can easily test it just by shorting pin 1 to that point with a piece of wire. If it works, run a jumper between there and pin 2 on the switch, solder down pin 1 and you should be good.
Oh yeah, since it looks like the two solder mounting points that are supposed to secure the switch to the board appear to be gone as well, you'll probably just want to use some strong adhesive on the whole thing; epoxy, gorilla glue, or whatever that will give a good solid bond to hold the switch down permanently.

Hope that helps; let us know what you find!
