During the process of removing the lower case of my MacBook Pro in order to dust it off, I accidentally broke one of the clip that holds the case in and the metal hook for it went missing (pictures with and without hook attached).

I believe this creates a small gap between the lower case on the right edge (looking from the back) and the chassis so it doesn't sit flush (picture with and without gap attached).

I know the gap is very small and I can 100% live with it. Mainly because I have AppleCare+ and if I ever need to the MacBook repaired, I don't know if they will deny it because of a broken clip. It sounds dumb but I've never had to bring any of my devices in to repair so I really don't know what to expect.
My question for this is: Is there anyway I can get a replacement clip/hook for it or can I salvage the clip/hook from another back case?
