Default Vent Window Latch Popped Off... How to Reattach?

I was trying to tighten up the loose space between the window frame and the vent window latch. I guess I pulled a little too much and it popped off in my hand. The outside portion shot off into the grass. I recovered all the pieces and it looks pretty simple to attach but I can't get it to work.

It looks like there might be a thin allen wrench hole in the level but I'm not sure. Anyone know how to attach this?

Thanks!

I did rebuild mine and I put electrical tape around the hole in the glass on both sides, reassembled and trimmed excess tape with a razor. No more slop in the latches. I can't remember how they go together though. Take the other one apart CAREFULLY so you know what goes where.
