Big EGR tube Broke! P0400

While trying to remove the small EGR tube for cleaning, I bent the Big EGR tube so much that it broke off where the big nut is. The small EGR tube was not clogged but the intake port was. So I cleaned it well. I presume that is what caused the code P0400 to go off, but once I cleaned the everything and put it back together, the code still came back and now I am starting to think that the Big EGR tube is the culprit. Can anyone confirm this?

whenever you break something you need to replace it. Pretty simple.
