Studio Display 15-inch spring catch broken

The plastic that held back the spring on this Studio Display broke. Does anyone here have experience repairing this sort of thing? Would a blob of epoxy around the area where the plastic and metal meet do the trick? A photo of this part unbroken would also be helpful to use as a reference.

Epoxy would probably work as a permanent, non-reversible solution that might make it a bit difficult to disassemble in the future.

Unfortunatly, I don't have an unbroken one to share a photo.  It is on my list of items to get as I've always loved that Azul Apple Studio Display.  I agree with olePigeon, Epoxy would be the simplest solution.  I'm not sure if it is a separate part but if it is, you can have some polycarbonate CNC'ed.  If it is separate that would be the absolute best option, though the most costly.

Epoxy worked! I ended up using Gorilla clear grip and let it cure for a couple of days. Seems to be holding okay.
