I have the other end of this problem (hinge replacement). My hinge is fine, but my acrylic kickstand is broken.

Not much left to hold on to

I removed the excess to make room for a metal shim so the screws can hold on tightly.

I used some flat sheet aluminum and a bench vise to bend it. I utilized a piece of pipe similar in diameter to get a curve to match the kickstand.
