Solenoid wire connector broken

I have a 2009 Grand Cherokee Laredo and the connector from the ignition wire to the solenoid does not stay clipped on is it easier to replace the wire or put on a new connector?

My opinion is to go to the dealer and get a new connector.

the wire isn't clipped on, there is a 5/16 nut on it.? Tighten the nut.
Tuesday I put a new starter on, the solenoid on the new starter was turned around half way from where the oe was and the harness wouldnt fit.
Cut it in half with a tin snips and all good.
