Long strip attached to spring yanked out by 2 year old. Pixma MX492 Personal printer

My 2 year old pulled out a part on my printer, and I would really love to figure out how to put it back in. A photo of the inside of your printer or any help is enormously appreciated. When I turn it on, the printer cartridge assembly slides over and then slams back into place over and over.

Good Morning.  Believe this is going to be a professional repair or replace the printer item.  I know it looks fairly inconsequential.  Could be wrong, but i'm not sure how much success you will have putting it back in yourself.  You can try.  Given the low cost of the printer, I wouldn't bother with professional repair.
