Question Accidentally broke my sata power port on my hdd(sorry for bad english)

[manolinmero]

so i was gaming im my Pc and the game freezed, so i restarted it, then realized my hdd was not showing on bios so i unplugged and i realized i broke the little thing that does a 90 degree angle with the cable in the port (picture below), leaving just a flat connection, so i plugged back in and it worked , after like 30 minutes of doing stuff the hdd waws no longer visible, restarted and is working again so my question is : is my hdd dying or is just bc of the broken port? should i backup?(the little thing in the red circle is the part i broke)
SMART shows drive is ok

Most probably just not holding the connector tight.

Use SATA extension cable. It will secure the connector.

You can use some electrical tape to hold it in or a dab of hot glue (of course done carefully and properly without getting it anywhere except the plastic outside of the connector).
