Is there a way to reattach a key?

I received my framework laptop today and noticed the F3 key was crooked. Didn’t think much of it until I was trying to change the volume when the key snapped off. Is there a way to reattach it? Do I need to remove the whole keyboard assembly or is there a special way to snap it back on that I can’t figure out?

Though it looks like one of the small plastic connectors on the key itself may be broken.

Proceed at your own risk Having worked on many laptop keyboards over the years, I was interested in how both the keys were attached and how the coating/paint was applied.

The paint is layered: Clear plastic > white coat > black coat. This was wet sanded with 2000, 2500, 3000 wet/dry silicon carbid…

but if the latch tab has broken off, you may have to contact support.
