this looks like either a new dealer parts or "second hand" gently used junkyard item...

Many cars share parts, yours looks like so a called "pre-facelift" - They're all good 👍

Ouch, I didn't know a phone mount could do that .
Hey OP, please don't be upset on him, here's always here to help .
Well, I have not seen a broken air vent , you would probably need to search on ebay or other sites but you would also need a mechanic to replace it unless you are well armed with how to take out the center console unit
