Hinge Came Apart -- Misaligned

The left-side hinge supporting the top to the printer came apart when I was replacing ink. Now the top won't close properly so the unit won't operate.  It doesn't seem like any part actually broke.  The top and the bottom of the hinge each have three supports: the lower with a curve cut-out and the upper with a curved piece sticking out, as if to fit int the cut-out space below. I can't seem to align it properly so it snaps back into place, however, and I'm afraid to force it without knowing I have it right.  Has anyone experience with this?

Just found this thread which apparently deals with the same problem, although these posters consider the hinge to have broken while my impression is that some part held in place by friction snapped apart.
