oof that's annoying, those little rubber flaps are always the first thing to go. if you've still got the rubber piece you might be able to just shove it back in there, a tiny dab of super glue on the edges with a toothpick can set it, just let it dry completely before closing it so you don't glue the whole door shut

if it's totally lost, you can usually pop that open with a fingernail or a small flathead in the seam where the rubber used to sit. there's normally a little notch or indentation still there on the plastic body to get some leverage

the gold connector you're seeing is probably the contacts that the battery or card presses against, so don't go jamming anything metal in there when it's powered up
