Default inner fairing screw mount broke

I recently had to remove the fairing on my 2009 SG, after reinstalling I went for a ride I heard a vibration from what I think was caused by not tightening the fairing cover all the way. Well after tightening the left side fairing screw i broke the plastic from the inner fairing to the metal standoff. The hole is now a little larger than the size of the torx screw head. Does anybody know of a fix other then having to buy a new inner fairing? Thanks.

Had that happen to me once. I took a thin washer under the torx to make it just big enough to grab the inner fairing.

pick up a larger stand off to now fit the larger hole,any hardware store should have some.Or just glue the old one in.Make sure the stand off is square to the screw before it drys or it will bind and break again.
