Tom,
there is a stud moulded onto the upper half of the coupler box. This stud is pushed into a bore in the floor of the car, the sheet metal lever is put onto an then the overlaying part of the stud is "riveted" by melting it down with an hot iron.
You can try to re-rivet ist by the means of an soldering iron. Before you will do so, push the coupler box up onto the underside of the floor and take care that it will stay there when you are riveting.
This will solve the problem with the low hanging coupler box.
