broken headlight switch
Take hope. The switch is probably not broken, though you obviously have a first-hand look at it.
First, understand the switch itself: underneath the headlamp switch is a small spring-loaded "button". The button controls release and insertion of the shaft/knob.
Second, Try pushing that button in and out while inserting the knob/shaft at the same time. The shaft/knob should "catch" when pushed in all the way into the switch. If the shaft/knob does "catch" when pushed all the way in, then your switch is not broken. You may have to try pushing it in and out a number of times before it "catches."
Third, inserting and releasing the knob/shaft is not easy. If the shaft is "aftermarket" (not made by FORD) or the headlight switch is "aftermarket", then it will be even harder for the knob/shaft to "catch" and release.
Best wishes to you and let me know how it goes.
