How do I get this window bracket back in the track?
The window has a "casement operator" and that metal bracket that's encased in plastic has popped out of the guide track on the bottom. As a result, the bottom of the window doesn't close properly, as it's not pulled close to the frame. How do I fix this, thanks.

Hello this link might be helpful, potentially replacing the part—- if damaged could be a solution

Looks like the window is slightly out of adjustment or it was opened too far and the bracket popped out. You might be able to push the bottom of the window to the left and either a pry bar or long screwdriver an pop the bracket back in. If that doesn't work it's probably damaged and may need to be replaced.
You need to open the window past where it normally stops and manually put the arm back in the track. Hold it place as you close the window to set it in the track. If you open it too far, it will keep popping out.
I would contact a window expert in case you can’t fix it.
Be careful pushing at the window trying to put the arm back on the track. You don't want to crack the window. Maybe a little WD40 to help the arm slide in the track, too.

Clean the whole frame and then try poping it back into place. Maybe add a ssspot of WD40 to the hinges at the same time - that should help.
