Can this be repaired via apple? Or is 3rd party the only option
The charge port is a replaceable part and does not require soldering, check ifixit for your model to see the process. If apple will repair this I'd do it there as you'll get an authentic part, ymmv on third party services. I've seen a lot of botched jobs because bad or inexperienced techs lose screws, damage thin flex cables and antennas, etc.
In general, if you try to clean a charge port, use a non-conductive material and do not scrape the connectors. Use a bright light to help you see when it's clean
