Okay, I goofed. While working on the USB hub I pulled out the yellow wire in the picture. It appears there's a mini crimp connector left in the connector. Anyone have an idea how to get this out and repair the mess I've made? Thanks for the help.

Pull the connector out,,carefully solder the wire into the connector and stick the connector back in. Hard part if finding how to release the connector so it will come out,,, it will you just have to find the trick..
If you try to solder while the connector is installed you will damage (melt ) the plastic plug! Don't try to just pull the connecter out or you will break it. You have to insert a very small pick or a sturdy sewing needle from the front of the plug into the cavity and release the tab. It should come out easy. If you look in the plug from the front you should be able to see the tab.
Go to a good electronics store and get a pin puller. I am an electronics engineer we use em all the time but they are getting harder to find. One side is red and other is white for the common sizes.
Looks like this.
