Looks like the metal part pulled out of the plastic part
I had a couple do that. The metal part is most likely still stuck in the back of your cluster. Carefully pry it out with a small screwdriver. Rejoin the two parts with a couple drops of super glue.
Or you can just buy new socket's and splice them in.

These 5/8" sockets are available in both plastic and metal.

Thank you both! I didn't see the broken piece but I'll look again. If I can't find it I'll splice a new one

Just read this from CC: "This harness does not include the fuse block - you must reuse your old one. New ones are not being reproduced."

Any idea what "fuse block" means in this context?

Does not apply in your case...
Your Center Cluster along with your Speedometer & Tachometer back lighting circuit (Gray Wire) is already protected by the LPS fuse in the fuse panel.
You are simply removing and replacing a length of Already Protected Wire.
