Question laptop charger port broke.

hello all, today my laptop charger port broke, resulting in all 3 wires behind it getting detached. I have a soldering iron and can fix this, I just want to know if polarity matters. there are 3 connectors and I can provide an image. here is the google photos link - https://photos.app.goo.gl/Eg9f9fmfNHttpdC4A

I would try to hook them up exactly as they were before. I would imagine polarity would matter with a port like this since 2 of the pins are likely VCC and common. I wouldn't risk frying anything by reversing polarity, as this would fry older computers and may still damage newer ones.
