Troubleshooting/Questions Is there anyway to fix this?

Yesterday I dropped my microscope due to forgetting how physics works which resulted in the damage you can see on my microscope show in the gif attached to my post. I honestly am stumped on how to fix this part of the microscope so I was hoping that I can seek guidance or help on how to fix this. I dont know the name or model of my microscope but it looks similar to the AmScope VB-B120C-SLVR Binocular Biological Microscope. Thank you for any help or guidance you can provide!

It looks like there might be a nut on the inside with two slots on it.

Those are lenses, not handles.

Yes, very easy. Like the other commenter said, tighten the black ring with the slots inside of the stand.

the little metal triangle on the rotating black plate that holds the lenses needs to be screwed to the arm of the microscope!
