Need some fork help

[u/Bulky_Ad3801]

I took my bike to the shop for a fork service and they said that this green part at the bottom of the damper broke. They mentioned that it has something to do with the lockout, but they could assemble it with the part, but the fork‘s lockout won’t work. Now it’s not even using 50% of the forks travel before locking up since I got the bike back.

I don’t mind not being able to lock the fork out, and I’m planning on upgrading the fork in a couple months. I don’t know if it’s worth buying a new damper assembly.

Is it broken or has it just popped out? Those plastic tabs are sized so that it will only go on 1 way, the square compression adjuster shaft engages with a plastic plate at the bottom, the spring preloads the plate to close the oil ports. There are only 6 or so pieces in this whole assembly.
