Tips on realigning crystals in a unit?

Well long story short my 30mw amazon green laser (more like 40-50mw) fell from my pocket on to a tile surface. I picked it up and no lase, so I turned on the trusty cell camera and shined into it and sure enough... pink. So I pulled it apart and the piece holding the crystals broke its glue and came detached from the diode front. Im just wondering is there any easy way to get this properly lined back up? Im thinking I need to set up a little battery power supply and do it by hand, glue then reassemble into the penhost. Any tips/suggestions? Also what kind of glue should I use? I know superglue would be bad since when it dries it makes a coating on everything.

I have a couple comming in the mail but I was trying to fix this one since it does work fine. If I put it all together and tap it I have got it to lase no problem, just seems like a PITA to get it lined up then glued. I guess I could try and convert it to an IR burner since these should use a pretty powerful IR pump diode.
