Solder the wire back into the socket.

You could use a resistor leg as a link. Tin it with solder and jam it into the socket. Use low heat to melt the solder to join the resistor leg to the socket (or pin). Cut the leg a few milimetres out of the plug and solder the wire onto it.

Use a little heat shrink over it to prevent any shorting.

Alternatively, you could remove the socket (or pin) and reattach the wire. This may require butchering the plug or the correct extraction tools.
