Can you post pictures of yours and how it’s broke? May be more helpful to see how it’s broken.

Sounds like you turned the screw too much and might have stripped it. Might have to separate the light and see if you can get it remounted.

Turn the adjuster the opposite way, it'll force the ball back on to the socket. Once you hear it pop, stop so you don't pop the other one off.

If you can use your finger and put it in the hole for the light bulb, pull back on the reflector part and then go the opposite direction with the screw to get it back on.
