Broken (Mini) Extruder-Print head PTFE tube

Hey guys i need help! So i was printing my item when i realised my filament was being grinded causing the fliament to not be extruded, so i decided to tighten/loosen the idler screw. After each adjustment i would do a test print to see if my filament will grind, around 8 minute mark it will make a grinding sound, so i will adjust accordingly.

But after that i realise the Extruder-Print head PTFE tube broke, the part that broke was attached to the motor end (not the nozzle side, that one is fine).

Is this due to me tightening it too much?? Am i able to repair this or do i have to buy a new tube?Broken (Mini) Extruder-print head PTFE tube
