Hello
Can I use a pencil to make a graphite line over a torn off SMD ?
- Silver conduction pencil costs 30-40usd$. 😢
- Use some "graphite->hairspray->graphite->hairspray" sandwich to boost the conduction ?
I checked that multimeter accepts the flow. It turned from "1" to "0" Ohm resistor check. 😊
I drew over torn off small SMDs resistors, capacitors and one transistor.

Testing the card when I have time. Hopefully multiple golden yellow criss-cross artifacts go away now ?

You can try but it probably won't help, ideally you just replace the broken components.

When I needed to alter circuit without soldering a thing to it, more precisely - to form a pull-up resistor, I'd mixed graphite dust with wood glue, it did the trick, but in your case - it won't. You must replace missing components the proper way.
