Please remove the outer body of mirror housing (should be fixed by 3 or 4 torx screws), and also please remove the base plate by unscrewing the rwo torx screws on the back side of the mounting plate.
This will allow us to get a better look at the damage.
Looks like it's the folding mechanism that has broken. The rest of the mirror should be fine.
Also it would help if you tell us what actually happened here. Was it damaged whilst on your car......if so, how ? Or did you just buy it as is secondhand ???
Cheers.
