We done that exact same thing too many times before, you learn very quickly not to secure the pins in your programing port. The first thing you need to do is contact IFI and arrange for a replacement, then depending if you have an older controller lying arrond (seeing that you are rookie team i doubt that), or you can try and resolder the programing connections for the time being (we have done this sucessfully before, but it takes a skilled electrician and lots of time). But you will need a replacement to compete.
