I pulled out the power cord from my ssd and I guess it broke off the plastic cover on the ssd it’s self, the metal prongs are still there just the plastic is broken, is there a way to replace the plastic I broke off, or is it just garbage.

Solution
if you have the piece that broke off you may be able to repair it. I would use a drop of glue (cyanoacrylate) and re-attach to ssd.
then using one of these secure to the SSD with glue (cyanacrolate again). then cover liberally with hot glue to make sure the power cable you attached stays secured to the SSD.

the tab that broke is the power tab, the smaller one is the data.
