It is likely that there is some movement in and out possible--give it a tug and see. If it moves, then just add some bondo and shove back in, then clean up the excess. It is OK to leave it that way as well just be sure it can't come loose while driving down the road.
I've been researching and this seems about right. It doesn't seem to move at all, so I think i'm going to sheer away the parts that are splintering off, sand it down a little and apply some marine top coat black paint to uv protect it. Maybe even build it up a bit with some epoxy i have lying around.
