ok, I see that this is a frequent problem.
For mine it's the small, front metal piece, too. I removed it, put may
just reglue it again (two-component-glue). Unfortunately I lost the pin
that fixes the aperture - is this a small ball, cap or stick?

There are two of those metal pieces. One is to lock against A, the other
one is to keep A. Without metal you should glide directly to A? Without A
I guess you lost the other pin that moves out of the socket in A-position?
