The pad you have ripped is the Vcc (3.3v) pad. You can pick it up a few other places on the board, or you should be able to pick it up from the semi-ripped trace.
Otherwise, you can consider to move the spektrum UART to USART2, which is available on J2. This will require a small code change.
Let me know what you prefer, and I will come up with a solution for it.
And do remove those metal standoffs, they are a NoNo!
