What replacement part do I need?

Hey guys, I am pretty much brand new to flying quad copters and have only owned mine for about a month. I have had some pretty gnarly crashes so far and I think that is what caused my problem. I noticed that my antenna has been falling out for no reason when I punch it too hard. I have a (Wizard x220 btw). So I have just been putting it back in because I didnt realize it was supposed to be screwed on. Little did I know I am missing the threaded bolt that screws on. So I lost my stock antenna while flying yesterday. Therefore, I ordered this Cloverleaf Antenna which is better anyways. My SMA Connector looks like this: https://gyazo.com/0585a2b5818c3407645457a007b5f6d2, https://gyazo.com/11d8670965cee06d63866b5e7de3de5d. When it should look like this: https://gyazo.com/1cfb4399c3f3c442158b16c06f1974ad. I just need to know what to buy as the replacement part so I can get back up and running when my new antenna comes. Thank you!

If the VTX has been powered on, while the antenna was off there is a good chance the VTX is ruined.

This doesn't look right, did you buy it new?

... Yep, that VTX is probably shot ... The part you're questioning is an SMA right angle adapter which, (as appearing to be fully
seated into the retaining grommet in the pic) has had it's top threaded section broken off ... The problem is that when the antenna
comes off in flight the VTX loses it's load and the transmission power gets reflected back into it which (typically) fries it ...
After buying a replacement SMA 90 degree adapter and hooking your new antenna onto it you'll be able to determine if the VTX is
still ok, but it's doubtfull ... Pay close attention to the enclosed pictures so you order the proper adapter, with the right connections on both ends
