Default Accidentally pulled out oil dipstick tube - 2014 f150 5.0L
Was trying to remove a stuck dipstick and ended up pulling out the whole tube assembly. Had to drill out dipstick that was fused internally to the tube. Was wondering if this part simply pops back in with a new stick (looks like it has intact retainer tabs) or did I mess something up internally?

Thank you!!

Dipstick tube.

Driver side valve cover.

Did all 4 tabs that click it in there come out? I think you can just insert it without removing the valve cover.
