Side mirror help

I did a bad job of backing into a tight parkade spot next to a concrete pillar and folded my passenger side mirror the opposite direction. The whole assembly and glass is intact and fine except for one part inside the assembly. It still folds in and the glass can be adjusted. But...

Does anyone have a diagram of how the glass attaches to the mirror frame? I don't want to break anything else :shock:

I have it apart like the picture, and need the glass separated from the black plastic frame that the persons fingers are holding.

The part that I broke is the threaded insert that the big ball/socket screws into for the mirror adjustment. My mirror moves up/down and left/right, but because the ball/socket isn't screwed in anymore it is floppy. It appears like the end of the screw is the same side as the glass, and I would need to take the glass piece out to take the screw out.

Thanks!

Here is the part that is broken apart. In the far right you can see the white/yellow socket and ball with the screw tip pointing out and the black broken plastic piece. How can I get at this screw? the other side is the mirror glass

On the topic of side mirrors, does anyone know which wires I'd use to test if the folding motor still works, my driver side doesn't fold In
