Dell OptiPlex 3080
OptiPlex 3080 Small Form Factor
My computer fell over and somehow the piece sticking into the Display Port 1.4 broke the pins are bent and some have some out. I cannot plug in cable from the back of the monitor into it anymore, obviously. is it possible to buy a replacement part? I cannot plug it into the other Port because I am running 2 monitors. You can probably tell I am not very educated in computer repair, but it just seems to me that i can purchase another part to install into that port. If it is able to be purchased where would I be able to purchase this part? The monitor cable is fine it's just the part that sticks out from the port that the cable plug into that is broken.
Thanks In advance.

Yes you can buy an optional Dell DP port and install it in Slot for 3rd Video Port (VGA/DP 1.4/HDMI 2.0b) (optional)

You would not be able to repair the broken built in DP port. it sounds like you have two monitors plugged into DP and HDMI ports respectively. HDMI port still works but DP port pins are bent.
