Broken toilet

Okay so the outlet for my parents toilet in our basement has most of the outlet ring missing and I’m hoping by remounting the toilet and tighten the bolts hopefully by me and my family some more time so the toilet that they want comes back into stock if anyone has some advice please let me know

I'm unsure what you mean... do you mean the flange is broken? The part the toilet sits on that holds the bolts and wax ring?

Yes that part of the toilet should I throw on like the wax ring itself on the toilet so it becomes a double wax ring to solve the problem or would that not work

So by "outlet ring", you mean wax ring? Remove the old wax and put on a new one. If you need a thick wax ring because the flange sits low in the floor, they sell extra thick wax rings. Or doubling them up can work. What's the actual problem? Is water leaking from under the toilet?

It’s easier for me to show what I’m talking about with a picture so you can understand what the problem is
