Right hand SLX 7000 lever took a beating in a big tumble. Sadly, someone sold me leaky brakes and I realised too late :-(.
The lever itself pivots on a pressfit bolt held in place by a locking screw.
However, it also pivots within the lever on two plastic guide pieces, one above and one below the lever handle itself.
The top guide piece has snapped, allowing the lever pivot to pop out of position when the brake is applied.
Can these pieces be replaced or do they require a new lever?
If it's been whacked that hard, might be best to see if you can get a lever blade kit that includes the bushings.
For example:

If you google SL-M7000 ev you will find a pdf exploded view that shows the parts available. The lever blade comes as a unit with various bits -

Thanks for the replies all. My issue is that the ev diagram shows the plastic guide plates (which are not attached but merely press into place and are held in by the pivot) as being not separate from the main body of the lever.
Ie buy a new lever body.
Which seems mad as they are tiny weak bits of plastic that are not even attached.
