Default Hood Opening Bracket

Hi whilst opening my hood today I pulled one of the cable houseing through the bracket that the lever/handle inside the car is hooked to. The handle you use to "pop" the hood. The one cable housing is still secured but the other one has pulled away.

I was wondering if anyone had a good way to fix this. I thought about buying a new bracket from someone parting out a vette-but it's just plastic and i would think it will do it again. Thanks for any ideas.
