Hotends from Elegoo are missing everything, where to find the missing parts?

Troubleshooting

I recently bought the pack of hotends from Elegoo for 50 bucks or so that came with a variety of nozzles. It looked like a great deal, until I realized after seeing a reddit post that they don't come with assembled parts like the ceramic heater, the thermistor, and the silicone sock.

I have seen on AliExpress and Amazon that I can get the ceramic heater, thermistor and silicone sock easy enough. The part I cannot find for the life of me is the metal retainer clip that is needed.

Does anyone know where I can find those clips? Elegoo won't reply to emails so I am sort of stuck with extra hotends that would require me to strip the original one to use them, sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple units.
