So I was swapping key caps and as I was pulling the space bar out, the right side stab came out.
I am assuming it is pcb mounted since the plate is acrylic (I actually don't know if that matters).
Is there any saving it? Do I need to purchase replacements?
I tried popping it back in but the space bar would sit quite right.
So basically, once a pcb mounted stab is pulled out, is there a chance of making it sit right once again or does it need to be replaced?

Take a picture and report back!

PCB mount cherry stabs can be slid right back into place.

It is the black plastic thing that came loose.

Yeah... you can just squeeze it back in there...

On a PCB mount stabiliser there's two stabiliser units and a wire. On each unit there are two clips. One needs to be sort of hooked into the hole, then once that's in you just press the other one in until you hear a click.

HA!
I'll use a previous owners pic in the meantime...

If you look at the pic, the right black plastic stab for the spacebar came off with the spacebar..
