Thats terrible. However the replacement looks straight forward. The clips will need to be removed for the ribbon cables. This could be done with a finger nail or tweezers and the new mount screwed in. I would suggest using JIS or JCIS (Japan Industry Standard / Japan Camera Industry Standard) screwdrivers, but a normal phillips driver works but may cause some damage to the screws. Hope you can get it fixed.

Awesome, thank you!

I had no idea JCIS screwdrivers were a thing, but those little ones really do have to be just the right size. I will look into it.
