Is this fixable? Or will I need a new upper intake manifold?

Long story short, I was taking my EGR valve off to diagnose an issue I've been having but when undoing the left bolt it caused the intake manifold to crack this piece off. Is this in any way fixable? Or am I stuck buying one from a junkyard? If so what years and models are interchangeable for a 1995 Ford Taurus GL V6 3.0L

Help Skid plate for Ford 2016 Taurus SEL

The engine splash guard/skid plate fell off my Ford Taurus earlier this year and I have been unable to find a replacement. All of the ones that I've ordered haven't fit and I am at a loss about how to find one that does fit without going to the dealership and paying a lot of money for it.

Here are the ones that I have purchased that didn't fit:

The one from Amazon was the closest to what I remember the original looking like, but it was too small. Attached is the photo the mechanic took when they tried to install it.

I called around to local scrap yards and they all said that they don't sell the skid plates, so that's off that's not a possibility.

Does anyone know where I can find one that actually fits my car?
