Tiptronic shifter button pops off

Yesterday I had my 996 Tip parked out in the sun for several hours. When I went to drive it, the Tip shifter button (the one on the console shifter that you depress to move the gear shifter) popped off after I pushed it in. I couldn't find any other parts lying around the cabin, so I pushed it back on, only to have it pop off again, either right away, or after a few minutes.

I see a spring attached to the shifter, which seems to go into a small "hole" on the inside of the button itself, which I try to align when putting the button back on. I snap the small horizontal bar into the appropriate notch on the button. All looks and moves well, until it pops off.

Is there a part I'm missing that I've lost on the initial "pop off"? Is there some special trick I need to know?

I appreciate any help that I can get. Thanks.

All you have to do is buy a new button, the old one is probably used on the notch. It is a frequent occurrence.
