Glove box screw tab fix?

Any ideas on broken plastic tab fix for the rear of the glove box. You can see my fix from about 10 years ago has failed, and the rest of the box is good. So I'd like to salvage it.

I use hot staples to reenforce broken plastic before before adding epoxy. I bought a cheap set from Amazon.

Look into Plast-Aid. I think you can get it off Amazon.

It's a two-part deal, white powder and a liquid. Mix the two, form it to whatever you need, and it gets rock hard in 5 minutes. It also sticks itself to most any plastic VERY well. I've used it a lot for fixing my instrument cluster surround.

There are also videos on it showing how it works, it's good stuff.
