My Filament Sensor keeps getting disconnected from Printer

Hi everyone, I need some assistance please. I had a filament Jam and tried to fix the issue by following the instructions in this youtube video.  I'm not sure where I went wrong but now the tube that connects the filament sensor to the main body is loose and thus, the filament doesn't go past the tube when the sensor activates the filament ingestion. 

Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

From the Original Prusa MINI+ kit assembly manual.

At step 45 you can see how to assemble the tube.

Looks like the link is missing: https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/3-x-axis-extruder-assembly_199519#201222

Make sure the screw is properly secured.

Does the filament go through when the tube is detached? If not, the blockage is in the tube itself, and I would replace it.

If the tube is properly secured with the screw as per the link above, there may be blockage inside the extruder, so the next step would be to disassemble the extruder by reversing the instructions in Prusa's assembly manual. I'd trust it more than some random interweb video.

Thank you so much for the link. The filament goes through the tube and per the assembly instructions, I've properly secured the tube with the screw. I'm assuming the issue is with the extruder itself so I'll look into that. Thank you for your help!
