Default Help with headlight switch holder broken

I pushed in my headlight switch and it moved into the dash. Evidently, a former owner super glued it in. Anyone have any suggestions or experience on how to fix this problem? Or, it is missing a piece?

Thanks!

That's Pretty Busted Up, without opening up a big can of worms to replace the Dash frame itself. I wonder if you pull it together the best you can then put a Layer or Two of Fiberglass Cloth and Re-drill the Hole or put a cut to size Steel plate and some how using the Bolt above.

I have some sheet metal that I am thinking about cutting to size, then using screws to attach to what is left of the plastic, and drill a hole as you suggested. Someone must have punched it. Thanks SC
