Drop it again on the reverse side? Jk.
Can you see the port at all to where you can push it back into position with a knife or paper clip?

I tried it multiple times, and I wasn't able to reverse the port into its original position. Isn't there a way to remove the bottom cover to access the battery and move it back up?
Gently put your USB cord's plug into the USB port on your mod as far as it will go and GENTLY try to move the port back into position.
ONLY DO THIS WITH THE OTHER END OF THE USB CORD UNPLUGGED.
Or maybe something none metal might be better, like a peice of popsicle stick or something.
Just be careful no matter how you decide to do it as you don't want to damage the fragile contacts inside the port on the mod..

Can you post a pic for us to see how bad it is?
When I say use a knife or paper clip, try to catch the outer edge and not the metal connection.
For real, maybe try to lightly tap your battery on some cardboard in the opposite direction to see if it will budge. Good thing it's a $20 piece tops.

Use a small flathead screwdriver as a mini pry bar. Place the head of the screwdriver underneath the bottom edge of the charging port, using the housing as a pivot and pry the port up.
I'd say take the small round end of a paper clip and catch the outside edge of the port (not hitting the connections inside) and lift it to where you can gently work your cable back in like @UncleJunkle suggested.
Looks barely moved to me. You should be able to move that back into place just fine. If it's tough to move it probably got wedged behind the body. Just be careful.
That is an internal battery mod and not designed to be taken apart. Most ,likely you'll get it apart and do worse damage, but if nothing else works and you are ready to sacrifice the mod, then go ahead and give it a try.
If gentle doesn't work, the you have to use more force. This may break the soldered points on the inside but you're screwed anyhow at this point.
And as @Territoo said, that mod is most likely press-fit together, everywhere. If you do manage to get it apart, you will likely end up breaking a wire from it's solder point because those wires are usually VERY short in my experience (been there, done that). Makes you wonder who they even get those things soldered and put together in the factory

I used to use the box version of the ego AIO and the reason why I stopped and moved on to mods was because of that charge port. I noticed the pens have a much better longevity but those charge ports are not great.
