Rearview mirror mount fell off, can I use JB PlasticWeld to secure this bracket?

I’ve had my 2015 XLT for about a year, and the rearview mirror has been pretty wobbly since I bought it. It finally fell off recently.

Looking at the mounting bracket pictured, I think I found the problem. When I put the metal bracket back into the plastic mirror base, there’s still some give to it, which I’m guessing is what caused the mirror to wobble in the first place.

Has anyone dealt with this before? I’m thinking about using JB PlasticWeld to secure the metal bracket firmly inside the plastic housing and eliminate the movement. Any reason not to do this, or is there a better way to repair it?
