Dead amd 5700 reference, is it salvageable?

Hi Everyone, So yesterday I decided it was a good idea to reapply thermal paste and get better temps from my GPU It looks like when connecting it back the metal bracket was somehow touching the pcp and shorted it

As soon as I started the PC some burn smell came out. Turned off and suspected it was the PSU but upon further inspection my GPU looks burned near the mounting bracket and once I cleaned around with isopropyl alcohol it looks like some soldering took the hit.

I have 2 picture of it before and after cleaning https://imgur.com/gallery/Xwsi4ir

Is it possible to salvage this card or should I start crying? 😭

Many thanks in advance for your help!
