It appears that one of the ribbon latches on my R controller busted while switching out shell. This is the rail latch that folds over... not the one that the ribbon inserts into. I really have no clue how this happened as I barely touched it during disassembly but I can't seem to get it to clamp the ribbon down and stay. I've tried fidgeting with it to no avail. I've swapped out several joycon shells and never had this happen. Any suggestions on fixing the latch or other alternatives? Right now I'm up the river with no paddle...

You can get replacement parts on AliExpress for pretty cheap.

Source: I have bought a pair and replaced mine.
