Hmmm.. the little plastic clip that broke off, is extremely thin, and cut exactly at the eraser button, making tape too difficult to hold. anything in place without putting a lot. In addition, electric tape, at least the ones I used, have the glue of the tape 'never dries', so if some level of pressure is put on the button to pull up or turn (which can happen in a filled bag), it can let it go.
Third and more problematic, is that tape is not thin enough. There is virtually no wiggle room in the pen silo with the eraser button.
Remember we want only to glue back the plastic clip back.
A good suggestion to apply the hint quality of glue that you need is to put it on some on a plastic cover or paper (be sure you have many under it so that the glue won't pass through all the sheet of papers and stick on your desk., and just tap the clip end on it, and stick it on the button at the correct location, straight (test before to know without glue) and hold for 5min. You'll probably still gave to much, but a good sharp blade or shorts can take away the excess once fully dried.
