What do you call this connector?

i snapped off the plastic portion of the male end of a Fakra connector on the back of my NAV unit. The pin is fine, it’s just the plastic piece. By looking at the other ones, all indications are that this piece just clips on to the square platform below it. However as you can see from my pictures, the edge is gone and it won’t stay in place. I was going to just superglue it in place however it seems like I should be able to get the plastic piece and pop it on and be good as new. However, I am finding out that not all connectors are the same. This one has the retaining clip at the 6:00 position and two orientation pins at about 1:00 and 5:00 o’clock positions. This vs the one just to the left for example.

So can I get just this part of the connector, in this color, and with this orientation? If so, where?

Looks like SMA connectors, and the plastic parts just look like indexing adapters that hold the connected cable in the desired orientation. Glue it back in place as you originally planned, using care not to get any glue on the connector itself. ....Or just leave it off, it should have no affect electrically.
