As you can see, the last pin is not there (it was bended)
Do you mean that the supporting material [as outlined in red below] around the pin has broken away and the pin has been bent over flat, or it's pushed over against the material. I can't tell from your photo. Either way you might be able to straighten it so that the plug mates correctly.
