Cut it off and fit a proper one!!

Seriously though - whilst your going through the checks, put the small parts in labelled bags - saves a lot of frustration when searching for a particular part no. later on. Make haste slowly, and IMHO you would do well to do a almost complete mechanical assembly before starting the wiring.

There a plenty of words of wisdom buried in various forum messages, and Rory (Stoney CNC) has some excellent videos relating to the mechanical adjustment of the machine - well worth spending some time reviewing those.

The 840 is a big machine, and it is most important that it is mounted on a stable flat surface before you set up the Y-axis mechanics. If your budget will stretch that far, get a T-slot base, it does wonders for machine rigidity.

If you have problems during build - pose them on the forum, lots of experienced and clever people there who will be glad to give advice.

There is no problem, however simple, that cannot be made more complicated by thinking about it.
