You will need to buy a new rail or at least the PCB part of the rail that the teeth are part of. Pretty simple to install, but you would need to look at a disassembly video or guide such as the one on ifixit.

shit lol, how hard did you pull, push etc? I used a paper clip initially and it worked pretty well. Just had to be "light on my feet".

Paper clips can easily damage or deform your pins so avoid using it. There are already lots of cheap jigs that simulates the joycon pins and wont damage your switch contact pins.

Agreed, use paperclip is def more risky.
