Default Hazzard switch wont stay

I bought a used 2003 C5 and the hazzard light switch by the center vent will not lock into place. I assume that there is some "click" that holds it in the dash but when you push the switch, the whole assembly pushes in. Anyone else have this problem before?

I understand that it is a pain to replace this switch. You would think that the center vent with the hazzard switch would pull out for the front?

You have to pull the entire cover off of the dash to access it. Sounds to me like someone took a short cut and use the screwdriver trick to knock out the hazard switch and broke the retainer.
