Throttle Body Connector Problem

While removing the connector from the Throttle Body Motor, the little "tab" that sticks out on the side of the Throttle Body Connector broke off. Now the connector cannot be locked back in place. The cleaning fixed my problem, but now I have another one. Any creative ideas on how to fix this short of replacing the whole throttle body assembly for $300 plus dollars?

Thanks for any ideas!

Just plug it in and don't worry about it. It's probably not going to fall out or anything. If you're worried, put a drop of silicone on the outside of the connector and you can cut it off if you need to pull the connector for any reason.
