I was just reapplying thermal paste to my Amd cpu and noticed one of the retention brackets snapped off. I am using an amd wraith prism cooler. That means I can't reattach the cooler.

Please suggest some ideas.

buy a 10$ replacement from Amazon.

Like @eeeee1 said RMA Else buy a new one. (if we talking about the thing in the picture.)
 

ps post a picture if you can, they do say they can hold a thousand words. More words more info, more info more help. :)
