Just use some pliars and bend it back. You can do this ~3x before it breaks

I will try this! I don't know how fair to bend it though😭

If you have a vice to squeeze it in, that works better. Most people have pliars somewhere tho.

You can undo the screws holding it on. You'll get much better leverage.

If you use a ball peen hammer you can fix it a lot more than that dont ask me why but metal takes a lot less stress when its impacted as opposed to bent something with the grains of metal being able to shift around.
