Your going to have to scrape the trace to solder that back on. Just solder a wire to the scraped trace and solder the LED to that wire.

Just do what FOOKZ said- there's a little line (the trace) that goes from the LED. You're going to very carefully scrape the plastic off the top of that line and solder a wire to the trace, which you will then solder to the correct side of the LED
