Unhappy side mirrors

ok well i purchased some power folding side mirrors a week or 2 ago and i was gonna get them painted installed and stuff pretty soon and well i had an idea about maybe installing those amber led turn signals in the mirrors. i looked on youtube how to take the actual mirror out (for an 06 civic since they didn't have one for our TL) and apparently its way different and i popped it out the same way... and well the civic has a little thing where the mirror can slide back in and the TL mirror just somehow clips on? and well the plastic clips broke and now the mirror won't stay on and i'm screwed and im wondering if you guys think the acura dealership or some bodyshop could fix it or if i could maybe get the same part out of the current mirror i have? or can someone get a diagram on how the inside of our side mirrors look like? any help would be appreciated
