Need help with tele pickguard

[mahalo]

Could anybody help me regarding removing and replacing my tele pickguard .
Had a very hard time removing the pickguard and only managed to do so as
the neck pup was not level . The old pickguard has a part of it sitting under the
neck ( 22nd fret ). After adjusting the neck pups its now almost impossible to place the guard back . Broke the guard finally while trying to put it back again .By the way my tele is a fender 52 copy so it only has 5 holes on the guard . Any help will be greatly appreciated and maybe
any suggestion where can i get the replacement guard other that online purchase . Many
thanks .
