How should I fix this shelf support for my fridge door?

Bottom shelf fell out of the fridge door, and on closer inspection the problem appears to be this supporting strut. I include a photo of the strut from the opposite side to show how it's supposed to look.

Any tips on how to fix or replace something like this? It won't support the shelf without it

I repaired something similar on a fridge with a glue gun, use the hot glue as a filler but you have to mask it off and glue gun it in from the op and fill the gap

Good idea, do you mean pour glue into the hole, only downside being the shelf cannot be removed again?

Yes pump in the hot melt glue. Look at the photos its a little retaining block moulded into the plastic - its has been damaged, push it back - it looks like ii is still attached and will hinge back, then use masking tape to both hold it in place and stop the hot melt from pouring out and fill up the mold
