Default Broken Headlight Brackets

Hi, so I was wet sanding my headlight lenses the other day and noticed both headlights were loose. So I opened my hood and realized that the brackets for both headlights are broken and they are just kind of floating around in there, not sure when that happened. I wired them in place but they are not adjusted right. So I am wondering if it is possible to just replace the headlight bracket without replacing the whole assembly (lenses, etc)? Also, does anyone know of somewhere to get them besides ebay or a salvage yard?
My truck is a 95 1500 non sport/offroad by the way.

What ever is broke needs to be replaced,there is no fix that I'm aware of. If you don't want to shop Ebay or go to a JY. Then you can try LMC Truck or you'll just have to go to the dealer I guess.

Ya I agree about there being no fix to it. I just looked closer at the bracket and it looked like someone has tried to glue it together before. I have no problem buying things from ebay or a junkyard, I was just wondering if there was an online store that maybe carried the part instead of having to wait for someone on ebay to post it. I tried lmc and they only sell the full assembly with the housing and lense, all I need is the black bracket piece that holds the headlight housing.

i'm not sure about how ours work, but i've jb-welded broken adjusting brackets on other cars and had it work out fine.
