Question Need a seat control button?

A friend trying out the driver seat in my 05 XJ8 knocked the front power seat button/knob off the seat control module and broke part of a little white clip that appears to hold it in place. I have searched just about everywhere I can think of, but can only locate complete (and outrageously expensive) complete control panels with all three buttons. Hoping someone knows of a place to purchase just the button if that is possible. Local dealer (50 miles away) only wants to sell the compete module. I can still move the seat up and down with the center of the switch, but can't go back and forth, except with the memory buttons.
Thanks for some direction,
Grant

After reading a couple of replies and taking a closer look, I have determined that it is probably not possible or realistic to attempt a repair of the knob and cannot find where the knob and its retainer is available without buying the entire control panel. Since it is shown as no longer being produced, a few local dealers have increased the price to well beyond my cut off for a bit of inconvenience of dealing with 3 tiny levers instead of the large knob. Thanks to those who took the time to reply.
