The cable should click in so either it isn't fully seated or the plastic retaining clip has been snapped off. I sheared one of those fasteners when going to tighten it. Not the best metal so my guess is you won't be able to bend it back - good news is they aren't that expensive to purchase.

The transmission I was able to remove and it still works but the entire cable sheathing seems to disconnect from the transmission with no effort which is a bit troubling so I may just end up buying another transmission assembly for that side. I am hoping I can put a 13mm nut on the bent stud(s) and bend them back to square with one another. I've spent way too many hours the past year off and on trying to fix what was a broken gearbox gear to the point I am entertaining ideas of selling the car sadly.
