I was working on a damaged motherboard and found an Intel ax210 card. While disassembling it, I accidentally removed one of the small coaxial connectors—its name isn’t clear, but it might be UFL or MHF4 (they likely glued it in place). I don’t have a test board yet, but I’m worried that using just one antenna could significantly affect performance. Would splitting the signal with an RP-SMA splitter help? I’m not very familiar with this setup, so please check if I misunderstood anything.

It should work again; you can re-attach the antenna. Did you have it soldered or use a snap connector?

I dismantled the whole connector, not just the snap part.
