Ear pad detached from head band, is there a way to put it back?

A while ago my headphones (HyperX Cloud II) fell and the left ear pad detached from the head band, but the cable is still there and sound works on both sides. Is there an easy way to put it back for free, or if not for cheap? I've tried putting one end in and forcing the other but the support is made of metal and doesn't bend easily.

Looks like there are screws you can take off to make fit it back into place.
- Never noticed those, thanks! They do look really small so I'll see if I have a small enough screwdriver for them
it looks like some of the plastic may be broken (it's hard to tell from the angle). If you need a cheap replacement for it, your library might have a 3d printer you can use and you can use a model like this

If you have cracked plastic or the like, JB weld plastic glue is fantastic.
