Need Key fob battery holder

Hey y'all
So my saga of key fobs started with changing the battery on a key, and losing any transmitter function. No light, no doors open, nothing. It worked before I changed the battery.
Then I bought and replaced all the buttons on it to see if that worked. Nothing.

So I moved on to my 2nd key. No transmitter light so I opened it and the battery holder fell out. When I hold the battery holder in place the LED lights up so this is my only hope (2.5 hours from a dealership and don't want to pay $400 for replacement)

**Does anyone know where to get the battery holder?**
The metal stems have broken off so it definitely needs to be replaced. Thanks!

Hey Tony. I sent a PM, but did not hear back.

If you still have the fob I will take it. I'm ready to drive 2 hrs to the dealership and get my keys fixed it's so annoying without them.

Thanks!!
