Did you try to push the connector on the wrong way around? Odd issue...

If the connector is just a little loose then it shouldn't be a huge issue once mounted. If its very loose then you're looking at a world of hurt - it might need to be RMAd but even though it sounds like there was a manufacturing defect the fact that a piece of plastic fragmented on you will make the seller and/or manufacturer try to reverse the blame on you
