Headlight lamp loose

[kiwisuzuki1100nz]

87 GSXR 1100.

I have a headlamp loose and rattling because the  plastic pivot is broken. Tried to see it in parts exploded diagram but it aint there. Essentially there is the finger screw adjuster and a philips head adjuster and then on the opposite diagonal a little plastic socket.

My socket is semi busted so I am after hacks or fixes to secure the lamp plug to the socket.

e.g. Drill a few holes and hold the lamp plastic rod in socket with some cable ties or rubber bands?

Any hack suggestions?

The part you listed is the thumb screw nut

Not the pivot point

My mistake with the part number mate, this is the part that I used to stop my headlight moving around, bought 2 but only replaced the one.

What I found was one section of the socket had broken causing it to move about
