Default Fuel system problem

Hey guys, so when I was running wire installing my new handlebars, I had the tank perched on the frame, well my idiot buddy hit it and knocked it over. It bent the metal frame-like piece(in green in picture below) that holds the fuel rail in. I tried bending it back and couldn't get it to work again. When I looked up the piece on a harley oem part website it wasn't apart of the parts fiche and i'm trying to find another to get. Any ideas??

Also, what lubricate do yall use under your throttle grip to keep it nice and slick?

Also I just installed a side mount license plate, and took off my rear mount, any ideas to cover up those holes left by the license plate mount?

Thanks in advance for help.
