Default C8 Paddle Shifter Wiring

I know, go ahead and call me a dumbass. I swapped my OEM paddle shifters for the Paragon Billet Shifters today and broke one of the pin connectors/terminal and it fell down into the steering column. 🤨 I've looked at many connectors/terminals online, but cannot seem to figure out what this thing is to see if I can order one online. If you have ever swapped paddle shifters, it is the silver pin connector that inserts into the square shaped black plastic connector that plugs into the paddle shifter box. Is it a Delphi connector? Does anyone know what part I need to get? Thank you in advance for your help.🙃 BTW, the other side only took me 10 min with a flawless install.
