It is indeed hard to repair, but the following might be of help to you,
If I was in your situation (with my 16X) I would use superglue reinforced with baking soda to make a pyramid shape around the elements, but before I would melt 3 staples around the element into the plastic of the case and the element. To melt a L shape staple into plastic, to reinforce its structure, cut one leg and then use a soldering iron to slowly push the staple into the plastic.
Here is the video I refer to perform my repairs, you do not need to buy the stapler they have : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-5PsKU2ZLY
