Recently bought a kinesis advantage keyboard. While installing o-ring for switches I think I broke one of the keys(Page down key).
While removing the key, entire assembly of the switch came out.

(Sorry for the poor picture. Have only cellphone now).
When I tried to insert it back, I think I bent some metal plate. I was not able to press down the switch at all. It got stuck in a fixed position. I tried bending the plate front/back, but unfortunately made it worse. It started sending lots of spurious signals.
As of now, I have removed the whole above portion and bent the metal plate to some angle and now I'm able to use the keyboard again.
(1) What is the correct position of the small metal plate? Should it be touching anything by default?
(2) Is there anyway I can fix this?
(3) How to insert the above portion correctly back. I saw one youtube video showing it fitting it back. It didn't work for me
Please let me know any other option I can use to fix this. I don't stay in US and can't send it back to repair also
