Not repairable through regular means. You'll have to solder a new jack onto the cable

If you can solder you can make them have a removable cable

Get another working headphone jack. You can cannibalise a cable you don't need or just buy one on Amazon.

Get a soldering iron, many cities also have stuff like makerspaces or something like that where you can borrow one.

Also, maybe get some heat shrink tubing.

Snip off the end of the cable, solder on the new jack, done.

Even if you were to buy a new soldering iron off of Amazon this entire thing is doable for like $20. Also, soldering really isn't hard even if you have never done it before.

If you have a soldering iron and the skills to use it, it is a 5 minutes fix. But since you asked that question, it is fair to assume you are not familiar with soldering.

In this case, any local electronics or music shop should be able to fix this for a few dollars.

I bought these on eBay for 60 bucks. They came in and they smelled bad. They were covered in dirt but I was able to restore them. I was wondering if the tip of the aux is detachable and if I could buy something for it. For all I know this could be cosmetic damage, but when plugged into my laptop only the right channel plays. When I plug it into my qudelix, both sides play. Idk what to do or how to replace this I already put in a decent amount of work restoring it but now I’m left a little sad

No the tip is not detachable as it serves as the left channel. It has been broken off. You have to replace the connector.
