Typhoon H CGO3 Camera won't stay on

[Cheesenacho]

I imagine this is probably not new, but I am new to the Typhoon H.
I'm working on my neighbor's Typhoon H that he crashed 6 years ago and hasn't flown since until I tried it yesterday.

So herein is my problem.
How do you get the camera to stay on? I've tried endless ways to get the camera to slide in and lock, but it doesn't.
I'm sure I'm holding it in the correct orientation, and sliding it front to aft, but it will not lock.

I imagine there is a trick to this, or damage maybe? The camera was working, but now,,,?

I'm editing this, as it looks like the slides are sheared off. Well, I guess I'll order a base...

Thanks,

CN

Is this the piece that is broken along the edges?

Negative, it appears to be the other side, the camera plate bottom. I looked at it under a magnifying glass and the tops of both rails appear to be sheared.

Okay. So the upper gimbal half:

Yes sir…those two rails like wider than what’s left on this one and not smooth on top. Figured it was shot and should see one in a couple of weeks when it gets here from Overseas.
