Razer Huntsman V2 Keyboard "1" Key and Switch Popping out of Keyboard

Recently the entire key and switch attached to the “1” key on my keyboard has somehow gotten loose and keeps popping out of its socket, with it annoyingly continuously inputting “11111111111111” when it does so. Any way I can fix this? Had this keyboard for years with no issues so far and the warranty on this old thing has long expired. The key still works fine for the most part, but it simply refuses to stay secured in its socket and wiggles around even when seated.

Edit: Upon closer inspection, it seems to be missing some black plastic on the side of the switch, perhaps some securing snap-in part on the sides has broken?

Funny thing, I had the EXACT SAME thing happen to my huntsman v2 optical red switch variant. I've just accidentally lightly pulled the "1" key slightly towards me today and the switch randomly popped out of the socket. I was quite literally resting my hand on the keyboard at the time this happened. I've got this keyboard about 6-8 months ago(somewhere in the winter).

This was very unexpected. I've just cleared the dust and stuff from the key and socket and just put it back in without issues and it works like nothing even happened.

After putting the switch back in, i tried to take it out the same way several times, to see if the switch is actually that easy to remove or it's loose, or to see if any damage happened to it(get more photos of it), even tried to pull it out, but it doesn't even flinch now.
