If your wires are still full length, they shouldn't need any extensions. Just carefully aim them back into the plug making sure that each pin is clear. Tinning the wires or at least (very gently) cleaning them up will help. Then heat each pin until the solder wicks into the plug pin hole. I've always played exactly how much solder to use by ear and came out fine, but I wouldn't be to conservative or you may not get a solid connection.

Good luck!
