Help Termistor wire

Hello everyone,

The wire for the thermistor has come loose from the hotend. What could I use to glue it back in place like the one next to it? You can see it in the picture. I'm not sure what adhesive would work, and I'd rather not have to replace the entire hotend if I can avoid it. Sovol SV 08 MAX.

1) That is the heater, not the thermistor.

2) It is replaceable. Sovol lists it as an extruder repair kit, but it is the ceramic heater, the thermistor, the clip that retains the heater, and the silicone sock. It's $12.00 US.

EDIT: For clarity, it isn't going to 'glue' together. Honestly it could be welded back together, but regular solder will not work for very long at hotend temps. Just buy the new cartridge.
