issue with fuel rail?

Ok so im installing my TVS Supercharger right now. When i was taking out the fuel rail so i can get the M62 out. I was trying to unbolt the big bolt (cant remember the size...22mm i think?)...anyways when i was trying to undo it the whole section came off the fuel rail. Is this fixable or do i need a new fuel rail? The bolt still hasnt come loose off the small fuel rail above it. The piece is in red.

Yep, just turn the key to run but don't start. if it pours fuel(you'll know) then thats bad.

Next time, remove the stupid pos black cover over the fuel rail and remove the 2 bolts that hold the rail to the valve cover. pull the rail up a tiny bit to wiggle it around and get more room for whatever tool you're using to get to the allen heads.

i had to take the whole fuel rail out to get to the hex bolts on the m62...the wire to the fuel injectors was in the way and i couldnt get to it, before i just undid the big ass bolt on the fuel rail, which is what i tried to do, but it never came loose, instead the damn end to the fuel rail came off.
