My R and E keys got pulled up a few months ago, at first I was okay with typing with them gone but it's starting to get a little annoying.

My question is, can I replace/reattach replacements myself in this state? :

(excuse the dirt, I don't know how to get it out without stressing the keys more)

I found the right keys on replacementlaptopkeys (http://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/servlet/the-24636/MacBookPro8,2-Laptop-Key-Replacement/Detail), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to attach them. Is my keyboard base damaged or should they attach? And will I need to pull out my old retainer clip for the E key before putting the new one in?

Thanks for any help
