Default mirror problem HELP!

I have a 2007 2dr civic,

i was going through a drive threw and i guessi was not paying attention and clipped the edge of the drivers side mirror, the mirror is good just a few scratches of yellow paint from the pole but now the casing is loose!!, i didnt see when it happened but a heard a loud noise like my mirrow flung back, so im assuming it bent pretty far, looking at the mirror u wouldnt know anything is wrong but when u touch it u can lift back half of the mirror!
driving sucks cause its shakes

is this an easy fix? will i have to replace the whole mirror??
do you think i just broke a screw or something?

you won't know until you actually open it up to see how much damage there is. No one can tell simply from your description though it appears that you have broken at least on one of the bolts.

Do you happen to know if the botls are replaceable?

bolts are replaceable but the structure that holds the bolts in place might be broken since many of the parts are plastic. You won't know until you actually remove the mirror from your car to survey the damage.
