Looks like it has come unsoldered from the card. You will have to solder it back on.
Hmm ok i'll need to open the yoke up or take the base plate off. Anyone done this before?
Check this thread.

I stuck it back down with glue but no joy
You will need to either replace the USB socket or just get another Leo Bodnar card. I'd recommend the card as there could be other damage to the board, and unless you are an experienced solderer, replacing the USB socket is not that easy, you need to remove the broken pins left in the board.
I will purchase another board! But ACE has used this glue stuff to stick the connectors onto the board? As seen on my dropbox link
You can use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften it, its just hot snot from a glue gun
Thanks mick!
