Letitou welcome to the forums. Would you be kind enough to change your user name to your real first name and last name, please? The reasons for this (and how to do it) are explained here: http://forum.freeflysystems.com/index.php?threads/real-names.497/. Photos of the damage would help with an assessment. Also contact support@freeflysystems.com for additional thoughts.
I did the exact same thing, and it wasn't possible to solder back onto the electronics board. Sent it overnight to Freefly, and instead of repairing it, they just sent me a whole new Mimic. So maybe you can urge them to not bother with having to ship it back to them if they're just going to send you a new one. Your antenna has definitely broken off -- there's a threaded receiver that solders onto the board inside there, and I can see where it's broken. This shows me that since the same thing happened to me, it's a delicate part and needs to be cared for. Now I keep the antenna off the Mimic when it's in the case and not in use, and some padding around the electronics.
Had the antenna break off as well. Sent in for successful replacement. Perhaps if I add the range booster mentioned in other thread that will become the sacrificial part. Also had the wires to the pan defeat thumb button broken by operator during use. Nice if some kind of retrofit box could be devised to contain the bulk of the loose wires all around the electronics zone near user's right hand. Have added a second unit as a back-up since they are rather delicate.
