FP3 charge cable falls out and no longer fast charges

Hi
I’ve bust my FP3 but mistakenly using the wrong charger (I have a lenovo one that looks very very similar) and im not sure how long i’ve been using it.

Now the port doesnt hold the charge cable in correctly, if i get the balance right it remains in but any knock to it and it comes out. But even then the phone only charges very slowly - takes approximately 48 hours to charge it - without any use and battery safer enabled etc. Although it holds the charge for a decent length of time, it still makes the phone troublesome - I have to avoid using the phone for things I would normally.

Can I buy a part to fix this - I feel like a new battery might be needed but wouldnt fix the cable falling out issue or maybe even the slow charge issue.

thanks!
Dan

The FP3 charging port sits in this spare part:
