A close up pic of the hole where it should be would help.

I'd like to see this same shot without arrows, what's under is probably important.
I suspect it connects to the pad the bottom arrow covers (with the three diamonds) but it's hard to tell with the arrow and angle. If so you can just grind through the coating around the 3 diamonds and solder a jumper from there to the other end of the replaced capacitor. Pretty simple fix if that's the case. If you grind it just right you might even be just rotate the capacitor and do it direct without a jumper.
Also, replace the capacitor, it's cheap and while it may be salvageable it took a beating. Would you rather do this repair once or fight it then have to go back and redo it later?
The 336C capacitor is a 33uF 16V Tantalum type.

Looking at a capacitor datasheet on Mouser.com seems to indicate that it might be a J lead 2312, but measure the one that came off to verify.
Guess getting a new multimeter might be a better first step :-)

Values are not critical, as long as they are higher, if you fin 33uF at 20V is absolutely fine, actually given that the board is 5V even going to a 10V should be fine, or going to a 50uF. as per the blowing up or going up in flames if reversed on a usb board is a bit exaggerated, it will fail but usb will not give enough power to make it violent or likely to ignite, as it will short and the usb port should shut off in that event, still better to put it the right way around. or get a ceramic so they do not have polarity but are more fragile to chocks, options are endless :)The 336C capacitor is a 33uF 16V Tantalum type.
Found a local electronics shop but not those exact values yet. Having seen the catalogue it was refreshing to see all those shapes that capacitors have.
Different in shape, but could this help me out perhaps? https://www.musikding.de/Tantalum-33uF-16V_1. Size wise it says the spacing is 2,5mm. while the yellow block off the board is 5mm x 3mm. I have a feeling this could work quite well since the legs allow for flexibility.Looking at a capacitor datasheet on Mouser.com seems to indicate that it might be a J lead 2312, but measure the one that came off to verify.

Great work on finding the right capacitor reference!
