Best adhesive for plastic?

Ok. well I'm an idiot. I bought a nice USB flash drive for my computer, the picture on the website had a key sort of coming out from behined the drive, so I'd assumed it had a keychain on it. It didn't. It did come with a sort of necklace type strap that one could hang it around their neck with. I didnt want that, I wanted a keychain. So the necklace portion was on it via a...how do I explain it, a indent in the plastic case shaped like a "0" with a small plastic piece cutting horozontally across the middle of the 0. lets se if I can draw it....

You get the idea (I hope). So I as I said I wanted a keychain, I was trying to run small piece of wire through the little groove under the 'crossbar' and back up to form a small ring so I could attach it to a keyring I had laying around. Well I slipped with the pliers and broke the cross bar on one side. I thought about trying to return it and just claiming it broke when I had it hanging around my neck, but I dont like to be dishonest, so I don't see that as much of an option. So I'm looking for either the best way to glue that little bridge/crossbar back down (only one end broke, the other appears to have just bent), or if anyone has any other suggestions of putting it on a keychain. I'll be needed it a lot and the keychain is really the best option for me because I never go anywhere without my keys and I'm prone to forgetfullness, but I'm open to other carrying suggestions. My only idea was fasioning some sort of pouch, but I'd really like it attached to the keychian so I don't leave it in some computer somewhere either...

Thanks.

Here's a pic of the flash drive also:
