HDD Clip broken
Dell G3 3579
I just attempted to upgrade my HDD into an SSD, but when I came to clip it, the little white clip just crumbled in my hands! Now I don't have any D drive...
Where can I get a replacement part for this? What should I be looking for?
I REALLY don't want to buy a brand new computer because a one-cent clip broke!
Attached are the images of the broken clip, and where it normally should be. broken white clip
Please oh please tell me that there is a way to replace this!

Just about the only way you'll be able to replace the latch is to source an otherwise dead mainboard for the system for a decent price and salvage it. The latch isn't sold as a separate part.
Try EBay.
The other alternative is to replace the system board.
