Kind of broke the sata connector

I was installing a new graphics card, since my mobo is a micro thinks are a bit cramped. Well the sata connector on the hard drive is now broken and the pins are bent, i can still use the hard drive but have to have it standing vertical. Is there anything i can do to make the connector more usable as it very flimsy now.

Epoxy to glue it back together? Doubt it is still covered by warranty. Could you post a pic of the damage?

cant really post a pic of the damage cause i dont have a cam, only a webcam. But quite easy to describe, it isnt the power connector but the sata one and the plastic bit that was on the hard drive the L shape thing is completey broken off and the pins are slightly bent downwards. The hd is only 6 months old.
