Adorable keyboard! Even I wouldn't know how to adapt to a modifier-less layout! Love it.
As for designing a replacement PCB: could be time for callipers. What does the damaged one look like?

Awesome keyboard. That the third row is shifted an entirely unit to the left is mind boggling.
It's a standard contact based switch, and works the same way as any other contact based switch, like cherry MX.
Are you looking to repair/bodge the PCB, make a new PCB or handwire it?
