CR Touch Replacement

Hi. I have had my Ender 3 V2 Neo for nearly 2 years. My CR Touch probe is bent over at a strange angle. It looks like the probe has hit the print causing offset printing. And rendering the homing function inoperative. I eventually found a replacement on Amazon. I could have got one half the cost from AliExpress, but no guarantee that it would be a genuine part. Im hoping that replacing the CR Touch will cure the problem. Has anyone else had this problem and will replacing the probe solve the problem? Could it have damaged the software swell? Thanks.
