New headlight assembly? or easier fix?

Well, since my 'bird could use a headlight module (the lights don't always want to pop up when the switch goes on), I had to pop the hood and twist the motors up for my headlights while taking the car on a quick drive around the neighborhood to keep the fluids in everything moving. When I got done and parked, the headlights still didn't want to go down with the flick of a switch, so I ended up popping the hood again to to twist the motors down.

While twisting the drivers side motor down, I used rather gentle force to guide the headlamp down while twisting the motor. Somehow, I manged to snap part of the metal frame assembly around the light, and now it wiggles :/. The motors still twist up fine and whatnot, but I'm curious how it's gonna act while the headlamps up now.

Are there separate pieces to the light assembly you can buy? Or do I have to buy the whole assembly if I do buy something? It isn't much, so it looks like I might be able to fix it by gluing it back together (I'll have to pull the assembly out), if there is a strong enough adhesive that will do the job. Question is, will the bond hold upon regular headlamp operation? Thanks in advance.
