sorry bout the maladaptive brain activity(read-brain fart) this morning, but i cant think of what the heck this is called.
anyways, as the pictures show, the bracket came off the window( vinyl) and i have to figure out a way to get the bracket back on the frame firmly. 
beings how im having maladaptive brain activity, i cant think of a solution, so askin the great knowledge base here for suggestions.
my niece( its her crank-a-ma-jig) is greatly appreciative of all suggestions and help.

Is the core of the window frame filled with anything with a strong substance like wood or metal?

If those are stripped, how about a couple of stainless steel carriage head bolts and nuts. Nuts would have to be outside, thus the stainless steel.
Holes would have to be drilled through.

Or, if you have taps, drill and tap to a bigger size.

Put enough epoxy into the holes so that when it hardens, you have something to drill and screw into.  Or just use pop (blind) rivets.

How about toggle bolts?  Perhaps also epoxy the metal plate to the window.
