Looking at the image on p.44 of the [link|https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles_pub/lenovo-chromebook-c330_lenovo-chromebook-s330_hmm_201809.pdf|hardware maintenance manual] for the laptop, it seems as though the WiFi module is hard mounted on the systemboard and cannot be replaced.
Here's an image of the systemboard that shows it a bit better and I think that it does look hard mounted i.e. non removable. I may be wrong though.
Also there's no mention of it in the [link|https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-chromebooks-series/chromebook-s330/81jw/parts/display/buy-now|parts list] for the model. (click on ''Compatible'' to see all the parts)

Are you sure that the WiFi module is faulty?
First check in BIOS to see if the WLAN has been disabled at all. Not sure with your laptop but try pressing the Del key or F2 key a few times, immediately after turning on the laptop. If it boots to the OS then shut it down in the normal manner and try again.
If it is a case of it just not detecting networks to connect to, try using the laptop as close as possible to the WiFi router (<10cm) and check.
If it works then it may be a loose antenna connection.
If it is a software problem I'm afraid that I can't help you as I don't know how Linux works.

For driver installation a few steps are necessary:
1. Find out, which Kernel is installed (input “uname -a” in terminal). In following example Kernel 5.10 is considered
2. Open web-browser. URL: https://github.com/
3. Search for “RTL8812BU”
4. You will get app. 30 repository results, for example “https://github.com/fastoe/RTL8812BU”

Here's an image of the systemboard which show it a bit better and I think that it does look hard mounted i.e. non removable. I may be wrong though.

Are you sure that it's not working? Don't know Linux, but maybe try using the [https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-chromebooks-series/chromebook-s330/81jw/troubleshoot|diagnostic tools] that are available to find out whether it is a hardware problem or a software problem.

If the diagnostics show that it is working OK and if it is a case of it just not detecting networks to connect to, try using the laptop as close as possible to the WiFi router (<10cm) and check.
If it works then it may be a loose antenna connection
