86 cougar door lock bracket problems

Ok.  So I finally got the new engine in the cougar.  I went to go fix the door lock on the drivers side tonight because it sounds like it fell out of it's holder.  Actually the whole holder fell off.  Is there any way to fix this?  I really would like to have it again or basically my remote keyless entry is worthless unless I have my girlfriend with me.  Any help would be very much greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

i feel like a dumbass now.  That thread was pretty recent.  I haven't been on the boards much lately because the car was dead and I just plain havn't had time!  I thought about doing that fix but was afraid the bold wouldn't hold.  Thanks master.  You saved my world.
