Default Signal stalk broken-glue?

Hello all - New to the forum & have looked through past forums, but have not found this issue. I've had my 2003 V70 T-5 wagon for 13 years & it has 225k miles. Great car! My daughter is borrowing the car for a couple months and broke the signal stalk. It still operates, but does look a little odd hanging there and probably better to fix it (for HER to fix it!). She got Zap Glue, but it didn't hold. Is there another type of glue she could use? For your entertainment, I attached a video of how it currently operates. Thank you for your help!

Can certainly try super-glue. Not sure what Zap Glue is but if it's that UV stuff I have not had good luck with it.

Just buy a new one. Or even a used one, it can't be that expensive.

Thank you ChopperMan and ES6T for the suggestions! We didn't realize it was all one unit and she found a video with instructions on how to remove the old one and install a new one. I found a replacement turn signal for $80-90, but she can't afford that at the moment so the plan is to use duct tape to hold it together and then get the replacement when she has money. Might not look nice, but should work temporarily.
