Broken alternator plug retaining clip

[danmpls]

Hey all,

On my 2017 JK there's a 2 pin connector for the alternator, and I managed to snap off the clip on the alternator itself. I've found plenty of advice on replacing the 2 pin pigtail, but nothing on what to do with this problem short of replacing the alternator.

Only potential solutions I can think of are:
1) using some tape or zip ties to secure it to the alternator housing or
2) drill a small hole where the tab used to be, then use a small, watch-style screw to keep it in place.

Yeah I've got tape on there for now, but switching to zip ties and clamping it down is likely the move. Thanks!
