Default Did i break my oil pressure sending unit?

Here's the link to my vid

In the past i had cracked the plastic piece which was obvious that a replacement was needed but this time i dunno if i broke it again?

If it wiggles like that I would replace it, especially since it's easy to get to right now.

Is there a torque spec to tighten the oil pressure sending unit?

I understand that. I didn't want to argue with the guy on the phone about it as I was in a pinch and wanted to get it fixed before the auto parts stores closed that day (it was on a sunday and they close at like 6pm).
