My little brother got a new Switch Lite and gave me his broken one, he was too rough with the port, is there anyway to go about changing the charging port
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I did notice on the teardown that the charging port is literally soldered onto the motherboard (https://guide-images.cdn.ifixit.com/igi/...)
It is doable but there's always risk in soldering electronics

Yes, unfortunately the USB-C ports are many times more difficult to solder than the older USB ports since they went from something like 5 pins to 20 or more. From the picture it appears you would probably need a hot air station to swap out that particular port, assuming you can locate the correct replacement part.
Without some fairly specialized expertise this is a repair that, for most of us, would be better left to a repair shop.
