Yes I did. I used a thud kit. Superb Sealey SDL14 50W Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Plastic Welding Repair Kit https://amzn.eu/d/doI5Xyq
Just make sure you use the correct plastic stick. The lights are marked up. Might be PP or ABS
Also use the staples first the plastic. Some good videos on you tube

I might be wrong but I'm sure I saw something on here about replacement bracket pieces that fit over the original location of that broken piece.
Anyone else? Or was it all a figment of my rampant imagination?
