Loose Antenna On Netgear EX6120 Wifi Range Extender

I have a loose antenna on my Netgear Model EX6120 Range Extender and the only position it will assume is straight down.  I assume a nut on the inside of the case has come loose.  I don't see any way of opening the case.  Can someone tell me how.

3M electric tape should do the job for a while + does seem to affect signal, 60/70% 

...as long as the cable inside antenna is not broken.

 

...restored "V" shape. 

The device is too hard to tear appart due to 1 microscopic screew...prob. made on purpose.

sorry already deleted the file, but you can have the same tape here:

plus I saw a youtuber placing a simple elastic bracelet arround the antena swirling base, give it a few curves..and that should held at the angle you d need to...
