R56 Fuel filter housing - Top fuel line seals

I replaced my Mini's (R56 2012 S) fuel filter and was having a really hard time rotating the top of the canister before removing it. When I went to get more leverage with the screwdriver I was using I put it in the hole where the gas line typically goes, pulling it out 2 seals and 2 plastic pieces came with it.

Looking around online you can buy the full housing for $250 (no "top only" listings), but I haven't been able to find any diagram of how those seals fit in. Does anyone have experience with this or ready access to one to take a picture? Could just be an expensive lesson but I have to at least see if it's fixable!

Thanks

Update, I ended up ordering a new one. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, here are some pictures. Probably wouldn't be fixable!

Yes, dont see they on their own. 2 of those look like specialty o-rings, the other two look like standard ones.
