I think the proper answer is to heat, bend back and TIG weld, as I suspect it is fractured to have twisted so far.

As a DIY job, I would be inclined to heat and twist back to centre, and if breaks then clean up what is left and leave a gap. As it is the passenger side it simply means an extra spacing between locking positions - hardly a problem. Save the bit that broke off and get TIG welded when you find someone local with the kit/skills.

Lovely seats by the way!
