Aurora R8, front headphone port replacement

Back in April, I accidentally broke my Aurora R8's headphone port when I fell out of my chair with my headphones on. It pulled a tiny piece of plastic (which I assume holds the headphone connector in place). I tried to fit it back in, but had no such luck and since then I have lost it. See https://www.alienowners.com/attachments/screen-png.3908/ for the difference between the broken headphone port and the perfect-looking analog microphone port. Does Dell sell replacement parts for the front ports? If not, are there secondhand markets for this sort of thing?

Thanks in advance.

The part number is 5XMRX. 

Do an ebay search, you should be able to get it for around $30.

As an aside, you can also usually plug in to your monitor, external speaker, or if all else fails to the back of the PC.

Huh. I'll upload it in this reply for any future viewersscreen.png.
