When it's been overheated like that the male pin might be corroded, a hard oxidation I think. Scraping off corrosion doesn't seem to help If all four pins look the same then it will probably be OK. But if a male pin has a different lustre than the others than it may have to be replaced. Sometimes there's a shortcut that will work, (after resoldering the analog board): i.e. remove the mating female pin from the yoke harness connector and squeeze the pin's ears in so that it will fit a lot tighter on the male pin. The female pin can be removed by inserting two small sewing needles so that they retract the pins two retainer tabs.
