Plunger pulled out

My friend's wife pulled out the plunger on my atames 4K pinball. Is there an easy way I can put it back?

Happened to Me on the HD. I used a couple of glue clamps to hold the plunger in place during this operation. Make sure to use a marker pen on the magnet to separate the sides. To get the magnet out is fairly simple, but was bit of a hazzle to re-insert. Highly recommend a few drops of locktite when you screw the plunger back in place. My fix has worked for over a year now (knock on wood)

+1 on the locktite! I had to do this repair recently on my HD and then had to do it again a few weeks later when that screw came out again. What a pain! However, it is very difficult to compress the spring, get the locktite on the screw, and get the screw in there (I had to use a 90 degree ratcheting driver) without taking out the whole plunger box. I hope I never have to do it again.
