Broke clock assembly when I removed it

I pried the clock/dash vent assembly out when I went to change my head unit and I broke one of the little clips that attatches it to the A/C control unit. Now it sticks out and looks goofy. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

I beat mine down onto the broken clips, and stuck some of the black goo that stereo shops use to solve similar issues.. looks alright, has a slight gap but its straight/

Thanks for the replies. I'll try some adhesive of some sort, especially now that I've found out how much a new one costs: $198!!
