Levo Gen 3 Levo 3 controller physically busted, but works. Any brainwaves on how to fix mounting?

After riding at speed into the back of a car (not recommended), the controller is broken, but still works:

The problem is that it is now loose and spins around when I press a button. Replacing and rewiring the thing would be a pain in the arse.

Anyone have any clever ideas of how to fix this so that it remains usable?

Thank you!

There’s no fixing that thing! You could just tape it with some electrical tape. They’re super easy to replace though. I downgraded to the older TCU and got rid of the controller altogether but that’s more expensive than just replacing it with a new one.
 
Thank you you're right, it's not as difficult as I thought. I just found a video that shows this just wiring back to the TCU, not the motor, so it should indeed not be too dificult (once my broken arm is fixed!!).

Just need to find the correct part now.
 
TBH, it's really easy to replace the controller. Rather than faffing about. I got a new one when mine died after 2 years - Certini do them.
In the UK they are £56.

Thank you for that! I'm in Germany, so there would be various post-Brexit Duties, but with the reference number, I can search locally.

See if you can criss-cross some black zip ties around the mount and cinch tightly
