Sierra Mercury 885 USB Connect hardware fix question

The other day, the tiny external booster antenna jack broke from the circuit board, rendering the device useless (apparently severed the connection with the internal antenna as well). Thus I had to buy another. :(
The engineering of this seems extremely delicate. I'm wondering if some superglue applied around the base of the jack would strengthen it, or would that be a bad idea? (The consensus of various boards is that superglue is nonconducting, so that wouldn't present a problem).

(I live in BFE, so a booster antenna is necessary for decent bandwidth; without one, it's slower than slow dialup).
