Need some advice:

While undoing clips to move the wiring loom out of the way for plug/coil removal, I thought I unclipped the injector plug on the driver side rear most injector, but it turns out that the connector broke. The part of the injector where the wiring connector attaches came off with the connector right about where the red arrow points. I was able to super glue the piece back, and later connect the clip again with a solid click, but the question is: how F-ed am I?

Should I roll the dice on it staying connected, or bite the bullet and replace the injector.

If I replace 1 injector, do I need new o-rings on the other 2 on that side?

Well, my original repair didn’t sit well in my mind, so I figured I’d dig a little deeper. I was able to get the fuel rail off pretty easy, and after being cursed by the car gods by breaking the connector, I was blessed by them that they allowed the injector to pop right out without a fight; So I’ll just throw a new one in.
