T6.1 Ocean front blind retaining spigot

[Devaprem]

One of the top plastic spigots holding one of the front roller blinds in place is bent. This is the left hand one in the photo, with an undamaged one on the right. The plastic spigot is not available as a part, only the complete blind. A dealer has said that it is not a warranty covered fix and that the cost to replace the whole blind would be high. However, he also said that I could find these through independent spare parts shops or on eBay (possibly 3D printed) but I've had no lock finding these there. I'm concerned about refitting and using the damaged one as the spigot may break off now it is damaged. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

I might be inclined to glue it back in, at a slight corrective angle, and buy a blind buddy:
