Thermal fuse was broken

The product was mostly as expected and direct replacement. However the middle thermal fuse was broken and crushed. I didn’t have time to wait for return and replace, as I needed the dryer repaired ASAP. I reused the thermal fuse from the old heating element assembly, and am hopeful it lasts. Disappointed that the terminals weren’t better protected in the shipping process. I have attached a picture of how it was broken.
