Broken Butterfly Keyboard Key

One day, I was using my keyboard when the number 2 key was clicking weird, so I decided to take off the key cap to clean it out to stop this, but when doing so the entire mechanism came off. Is this covered by warranty? What should I do to get this repaired? I included a link to a photo of what it looks like now.
