I was checking what was happening because one of the screws on my SF is loose.

 

Here's what happened.. one of it broke from the case

Anyone has suggestions on how to fix this? Would any glue work?

Not super clear as I don't know how these cases are done. They look like threaded tubes, and one detached from the place it was inserted/placed, correct?

If so I would try a very small amount (not to fill the tube otherwise bye​bye screwing back the screw...) of a serious epoxy glue.

Like this one which, once dried 24+hr later, holds up to 300kg/cm2 (4260lb/inches2):

Take care, if the screw is still in the tube, you should unscrew it. You need to glue back only the tube, to have the situation like it is for the other 3 ones.
