I'll second that, although some arrows pointing to the exact area would give people a better chance to see what you're talking about.

Does just like that metal strip I remember holding the bulb down. It's under a bit of tension to my memory which lead me to believe it was used to stop the bulb shaking when driving on bumpy roads.

Genuinely just try bend it! I think something similar happened.

If it starts to feel like it'll snap then stop obviously but the bending is worth a try

It's just like a little leaver to pull the bulb out so just bend it back in, should be fine  :happy2:
