If it is the area I outlined in red, IMO without ever having seen the back of the HID
lamp assembly on a 2016 model off the vehicle, it is part of the headlamp assembly.
Did the 9 pins get bent over from misalignment of female connector or broken in crash damage?
If the pins are bent:
Take the headlamp off the vehicle and carefully bend the pins straight again
with a slender tool such as medical hemostats.
If broken due to crash damage:
Solder repairing the broken area, maybe by an electronics technician?
Source another headlamp assembly, YES THESE VERY $$$$.
