Take a centimeter graded ruler and place next to your missing crystal socket, then take a photo. Repeat for the crystal itself. Then the answer will by much easier.

As I recall the out-of-the-capsule oscillators, the variant where you just plug it in essentially. You have:
 * GND
 * +5V
 * Signal
 * NC

You can manage without NC with less mechanical stability. But if any other connection is compromised it's broken. Unless you manage to solder some extra wire directly to the broken pin (messy).
