Is This A Battery Connection Issue?

I recently just upgraded to an SSD and I followed a video that told me to unplug the battery as the first thing to do when starting. I did all of that and got the SSD in, however whenever I went back into the computer it was saying “No battery is detected” I thought maybe I just didn’t put it back on properly so I went back and wiggled it a alittle bit but still the same thing when I opened the computer. I took it off one more time and realized that there were small bits that look like they came off with the battery connector when I took it off the board. Would this cause my computer to not recognize my battery? For whatever reason it works fine while it’s plugged in but it will start to die (but not immediately) if I take it off. I would really appreciate anybodies help in trying to diagnose what I could do about this issue as I am not too tech savy lol. Thanks guys.
