Old owner donated me the board with all the parts. I wanted to know if I could peel the traces else where and glue down the port to the board if so is there a schematic that would show the points of interest?
Is this a good question?

5v power connector is missing. Severe trace damage. The traces are all gone and would need to be rebuilt.
See the mark labelled with a 1. The via is not visible due to the amount of damage. The other 3 missing traces (labelled 2,3,4) you can still see their respective via's. IF you can reveal and isolate the via for trace 1 it MIGHT be fixable. If you don't have proper tools (microscope etc) your chances of isolating and restoring the via on line 1 are next to zero.
What you seem to be asking for is alternate points to solder to, however this is ill advised for starters because via #1 is so badly damaged that it MIGHT be (most likely is) shorted to the surrounding area at the surface layer but even possibly a layer (or more) down into the board. I personally can't find any diagrams for this board.
I don't recommend using glue to hold the connector. What I might do (provided it was actually fixable) is build up a large pool of solder mask around the connector which "should" hold it enough for personal use.
This motherboard, in my opinion, would be better used as a parts board. With this much damage I would keep in mind that other damage elsewhere MIGHT have been caused by this destruction. This repair will be difficult, possibly a no fix. A nice challenge to be sure but definitely not a beginners repair. This one poses the possible threat of electrocution and or fire. You are looking at a rather extensive restoration of the effected area, the ground plane is far too exposed far to close to tracks 1,2,4.
Here is vid of TheCod3r doing this repair on a less damaged board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lrGv3bS...

Hi!
What do you want to change or use? Which port?
Can you show us with some pictures?
Adding images to an existing question
Thank you!

@dan0 guessing the previous owner tried an hdmi port replacement and messed it up. probably ripped traces and drilled out the anchor points

@tech_ni whoops.. hopefully that is not the case otherwise it will be quiet a job to fix it…

@darioponce iFixit's forum software doesn't support pictures within comments, so I've copied it to your question so we can see it.
