I solder on things for fun, and have repaired multiple motherboards with
this class of failure. The problem is that the USB-C connector on the
E15 is a surface mount part - it has very little structural resistance
to being flexed; the tiny surface mount pads are not very strong at all.
They use these because it helps to keep the laptop slim in profile.
I would not use the E15 as the laptop to learn how to repair this.

That's a very temporary fix. Wedging something adds stresses to the port
which will inevitably make the intermittent connections moreso as they
open up.
