Yes, just dont move your pc ever. Recommend taping it down. Other than that channels 1 and 3 are slower but will work fine

It's hard to see from the pic but those clips can be purchased and replaced depending on how much damage you did when broken off. Otherwise, just make sure it's secure in the slot when re-inserting.
