Man Tadz, really sorry to hear that, I feel your pain..
As SirVRX said, yeah spend a bit of dosh to fix it up for you. I know it'll hurt your wallet but it at least it'll be fixed.
I agree with Matty, if you're doing anything yourself that involves tweaking a part in an way it wasn't designed for, just be really careful in future. I'd go as far to read more than one how to and get a second and third opinion as methods and steps.
One good piece of advice that was given to me when it comes to doing something with -the high risk of damage-; "If you don't have the experience in what you're doing, leave it to the pros. If you want the experience, have a pro with you during the process helping out."
I always try to follow that mentality myself, so that way I learn with minimal chance of damage to what I'm working on. For things that involve low risk damage I'll just give it a go myself after reading a couple of how-to's and getting some verbal advice. I hope that helps out Tadz
