Default Electronic TE compensation, will this work?

I think the photo shows the back of the TE attachment fittings. I
would say the tubing has come off. Easy fix. Get drawings, drill a
hole in the side of the fin, reattach and repair the hole according
to repair manual. Would require a licensed A&P to sign off.

It's likely an o-ring. But so what. Looking in the hole may not tell

Again, take this to an experienced glider A&P and get help.

You fix problems by fixing them, ideas of leaving TE lines faulty
