Water-In-Fuel sensor

Tonight I changed my fuel filters for the first time. Went well. However, when I was hooking up the WIF sensor connector, it wasn't pushing in very well. I looked and the pins were straight, I kept messing with it. I noticed that the sensor was loose in the housing. It looks like there are about 4 tabs that hold the end of the sensor in the housing. When the end of the sensor came off, one of the two springs and 0-ring popped out. I managed to find them and re-assemble it. Is this a normal occurrence? Do I need to order a new housing?

If it falls apart and I get a WIF message, is there any type of de-rate that happens or can I keep driving?

Definitely not normal, have had mine unplugged quite a few times and never had any issues like that.
