He was helping me clean the car and he bumped into it pretty hard or something. I didn't notice it until later.
Does anyone know if you can just buy that specific part? The adjustment fin for the vents. Or would I have to go to the dealership and buy a whole new assembly..?

This happened to my last GS too and I was able to pull the clip out with some tweezers and reattach it.

It looks like the broken-off part may be laying on the inside, between the horizontal louvers and the vertical fins, at the bottom on the right-hand side.
Apparently this part is just pressed-on to the small connector located in the center and is made to break-away if hit. That would be good news...and an easy fix. Just don't lose that part because it cannot be ordered separately!

I took that out and set it on my desk at home before I left to go back to my work apartment, but unfortunately for the other pieces.. I examined it after I found it and the clips that clip the adjustment fin into place are broken .. dumb brother must have hit it pretty hard.. -__-..

Did you ever get this fixed by the dealer? I got the same problem right now and was wondering what they charged for the whole job.

The guy at the dealership that I dealt with was really nice lol. I won't go into too much detail because I don't want to get him in trouble or anything, but just tell the service person that you're assigned with that it fell off on it's own and you didn't notice until going back there one day while cleaning. Either that or make up some excuse and it SHOULD be covered under warranty. The guy was the best lol. He replaced the whole thing and my front brakes AND rotors and keyfob for free.

Ok thanks for the suggestion. I don't plan on bringing it up until I'm due for my 30k mile maintenance and that's not coming up until Spring time.

Man, it must have been a hell of a hit for your brother to damage the brakes and key fob too lol.
