Yes, it's one of the 'hooks' on the front vertical cam chain guide. I'd fix it - requires the head to come off.

Once you found a replacement, one long evening of work would get it replaced. My guess is you didn't get the lower 'hook' seated on the steel pin properly and the stress from the chain squeezed and broke it.
