I ran into the same repair in my shop the other day. Yup, you can send it to Texas or order the part from China and wait, but, for a simple fix (you do have to use some precision and care), a little dab of Permatex 80338 Black Rubber Sealant around just the inside lip of the frame will hold the piece in, water seal it, and can easily be removed / replaced when the "proper" part is more available.

If you want to be "very precise" you can take the (square) top off of one of those 7-day pill box containers, fill it with permatex, run a razor across the top to make it smooth and let it set. Once it is set, you can then remove it (it will be rubbery) and you can use an xacto to precisely trim out the perfect piece.
Some folks forget that electronics repair isn't all about plug and play, many times you have to think outside of the box and find things (and in many cases) that work better than the original design.

Just a little dab will doo ya'
