finished. side note, the female end was actually loose, so had to remove from white plug and squeeze the contacts back together.(used a dental pick to lift the tab that holds the contact in place.

hot glue is very useful here, but not absolutely necessary. But I highly recommend for the shaft in the base as seen here.also doesn't hurt to hot glue the pcb wires as well(circled)

hot glue seen in base, is a previous repair.(circled yellow)
