My shift key stopped working so I fixed it. (I managed to fix the silicone nub and pad)

But on my way in, I realised I broke the super fragile cylindrical pivot pin things on the scissor mechanism.

Now the key of course is flappy and no longer wants to stay in place.

Lenovo would sell me the whole keyboard assembly including touchpad, power button, and sides for 11,000+ INR but I don't want to pay that much for just 1 key.

What can I do to fix it? Do you think I'll find donor keyboards to take it from?

It's the same shape keys as the Legions and older LOQs.
