(apologies for the terrible image quality), is this repairable with a soldering iron, or is it more advisable to simply buy a new fan hub? I'm very new to the PC building scene, so apologies if I'm lacking in any important knowledge. Thank you!

if it's still under warranty,
before doing either i would contact Antec and see if they'd be willing to send out a new one.
maybe not exactly tell them that you actually broke it.

i've had be quiet!, Fractal Design, and Corsair send me out replacements for their included fan/LED hubs without any question.
but were all due to manufacturer known malfunctions so it may not be so easy in your situation.

alright, ill definitely ask antec, and i would think this is pretty susceptible to injury anyways, since it was in this position already when i first opened the case up, so lets hope i can get my hands on a new one, thank you!

ill definitely ask antec

if even if they won't offer a new one there's some cheap nicer combo hubs out there available such as:
Cooler Master MasterFan aRGB/PWM
