You can try soldering a connector if you have the right parts, but it depends on compatibility and your skills.

Hey there! I'm just starting out with PC building and got my hands on a gigabyte B460M DS3H AC. This card looks the same as the B460M DS3H, but it comes with built-in WiFi 5 and Bluetooth. It only has HDMI instead of HDMI, VGA, and DVI ports. While checking the card, I noticed a header labeled VGA and another for DVI. It seems like the manufacturer might have removed the original connector but kept the header. Can I connect a VGA/DVI monitor using a VGA/DVI cable to this card? Thanks for your help!
Avoiding damage is the main priority, especially if you need VGA and DVI support. Instead of modifying your existing board, it’s better to purchase a compatible replacement that meets your requirements without altering the original hardware.
It requires more changes to the PCB design, which should resolve the issue. It appears to be a port without signal.
?? well there's the space for it, it's just i wouldn't do it, as you'll probably end up killing the board. either way, unless you need the i-gpu, don't bother with it.
