Deflector for sunroof -- need a part

I am older but a beginner car guy. I bought a 2017 Nissan maxima platinum at auction with hail damage. The damage was so bad that the sunroof was shattered. Along with a great glass guy, we replaced the sunroof and dropped the headliner and vacuumed out all the glass pieces – what a chore. In doing so I broke a hook to the deflector (see last picture). This piece slides in the track.

When I spoke with the parts guy at the Dealership he felt the part was included in part 91280-4RA1A, a person I chatted with at a website for OEM parts felt the same. However, see pics below, the diagram doesn’t clarify. The picture of part 91280-4RA1A on all the websites doesn’t include the hook. Notice the middle pictures I posted with the hook and without the hook. The deflector needs 2 hooks, I broke 1.

If anyone has any advice please share. I have thought about not replacing the original deflector and buying a deflector that sticks to the top.

I would really like to just buy the hook.

Any ideas about the right part or next steps? Thanks.

The broken hook -- I tried JB weld glue but it didn't work -- likely user error.
