Default Mirrors...

Well today my driver side mirror got tapped by a driver going the opposite way as me. He didn't stop and I couldn't turn around and catch up with him in time. The actual mirror housing is fine but the mirror itself jiggles around in the housing and is not secure. What can I do to DIY fix this as my dealership and indie want a ton to replace the whole actual mirror assembly? I see alot of parts associated with this on genuaineaudiparts.com but am not sure what I would really need to fix this. How hard of a fix would this be / what kind of tools would I need? Any help would be appreciated.

https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ Found this. The guy mentions the mirror just snaps out of the motor, maybe i just need to snap it back in... Going to try and assess the situation...

I'm not sure about a DIY fix but I've seen used mirror assemblies for sale on ebay.

I fixed it. Just needed to pull the mirror out and realign the motor thing and snap it back in place. It really makes me wonder how honest dealers and indies truely are...
