ignition coil stud snapped

Question that hopefully someone can help with quickly =)

Just changing my ignition coils and my stud snapped. How important is it that those are bolted down? I'm assuming it's important and I'm not implying that I am going to leave it like that but it's sunday and close to 8pm. Anyone know for sure either way?

I would try to zip tie it down so it would not move as much. But its not a big deal if one coil is not bolted down just zip tie it or something

zip tie will work

I also have a brand new, unused OE Mazda coil bracket that I can part with, includes all new bolt/nut hardware for mounting it to the block and the coils to it.
