Unfortunately, they can't be fixed.

You will have to order the antenna kit listed in chapter 3, page 17 of the service manual and it will take a lot of work to install them.

You may just want to resort to using a dual band USB Wi-Fi adapter instead.

I just realised Bluetooth also doesn’t work, is there any workaround to this ?

The auxiliary antenna wire is for the Bluetooth reception, so that is why you have no Bluetooth.

If you don't want to or can't replace the antenna wires, this dual band Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter should work for your notebook.

I have the same model I use on a HP Elitedesk 800 G3 Desktop Mini PC that did not come with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and it was too much trouble to find and install the two antenna wires that would have been needed to install an internal M.2 Wi-Fi adapter.

Works fine and it is very small.
