I have a 2019 MacBook air brought into a local repair shop, who quoted over $1000 to fix it. The problem is apparently this component which has fallen off the motherboard- I brought it to a friend who is an electronics expert, and could not get it to flow, nor identify it. I was wondering if anyone here knows what this component (labeled "R47") could be? Attached are several images of the board, and it is a model A1932 13" MacBook Air.

It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like the component failed and left its pads attached to the logic board. That's why it wasn't able to be soldered back on. Once a replacement is sourced, somebody skilled in electronics rework should be able to clean up the mounting pads on the logic board, and solder the new part on. @oldturkey03 's answer about sourcing parts should point you in the right direction.
I'm a bit worried that the attempt to reattach the old part damaged adjacent components on the board. Once you've sourced a replacement part, I would try to find a different local shop specializing in rework, and have them clean up the board / install the new part.
Oops! I'd like to change my mind.
