yes, although it will wobble in the housing, no big deal though

Second, mine is broken to. It jiggles a little, but it works fine.

Default That broken one can be replaced with some parts from the hardware store
A small L bracket, a nut and bolt, and some screws.

Default I broke one a while back. I found a plastic piece approximately the same size and jbwelded it on.
So far so good. If you use JB - make sure to clean the plastic with a good solvent to remove oils then rough it up a bit with a dremel or similar.

I've jbwelded so much **** on the S4 and it always works. You can even sand and paint it : )
