Mend Brother PS53 Machine Needle Stay

Is something missing?

I have a Brother PS53 sewing machine which has been used for quite a while ..... recently the needle clamp fell off while I was sewing and I can't get it to stay on now. I have looked at another machine (very old) I have to see whether a small screw might have fallen off but can find no such hole .. any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello Shirley,
Sometime the clamp is screwed on by a very small screw the opposite side of the needle clamp thumb screw, or in a lot of cases there may be an extra piece inside the needle clamp that has to be inserted to keep the needle one way, or you may have to undo the thumb screw as much as you can, put the needle clamp on as far as it will go and slowly tighten the clamp thumb screw until it holds the clamp in place and you should be able to put the needle in then and tighten up.
