Simple fix would be get the gel type super glue and baking soda.
Apply the super glue around both edges of the broken areas fit them together, where the glue squeezes out sprinkle a good amount of baking soda on the exposed glue.
The baking soda will react to the super glue and make a rock hard crust that is very strong.

Check the body for a plastic code as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) usually require a specialized glue, which are readily available from Henkel/Loctite and others.

I’ve found that it’s easier to apply an adhesive with a syringe and blunt-tipped needle in tight or awkward areas, such as your situation.
