Vacuum leak through injection plug

Vacuum leak through injection plug
I put a new fuel spider in my 01 blazer and managed to smash both pins for cylinder one while plugging the harness into the top of the spider. So I had to straighten the two pins out and try again.
Thought I had it, but after a second look I can see that one of the wires on a formerly bent pin is working itself out of the plug. At this point the blue clip that holds the front six wires in is dislodged and the white gasket around the wire is 1/4 inch out of the hole.
I took the plug off to try pushing the gasket back in with no success. Looking at the bottom of the plug you can no longer see the contact, but it does connect when plugged in.
So now I have a vacuum leak around that wire that is quite loud and no idea how to fix it without making it worse.
