Solutions: Broken fuel pump bolt?

Last week I installed my upgraded fuel pump as soon as I got my car back home from putting cams in. My mistake, letting my younger brother tighten down the retaining ring bolts. He broke one of them off.

Now I am getting a check engine light that says there is a "leak in the evap chamber" I believe is what the scanner says. Any suggestions on what to do in this situation? I realize that the correct thing to do is weld a new stud on, but damn, is there any other way?

Maybe try some of that black RTV silicone sealer and let it dry, that might be an easy fix.
