Remove yellow cable first, if possible. You have to push on metal clip on yellow cable connector, to pull it out. Or you're going to break it too.

Then press on metal clip on broken connector with needle nose pliers and carefully pull it out.

Hard to tell.
Breaking off the connector may have left some wires shorted.
Would not recommend turning it on in this condition.

Try at your own risk.
If it is shorted, result could be burnt chipset and a new motherboard.

You said, you're doing this in a garage.
Don't you have any pliers in your garage?

Looking at your image, all that is left in the SATA socket is the plastic housing of the connector. The contacts that were in the connector are still attached to the SATA cable. There's nothing to short in the SATA cable connector on the mother board. Not sure happened to my nearly 2 decade old account. It recognizes my old user name but no record of the email I used which has not changed.
