The website did a blog about this last year, Follow these steps to fix your broken or detached stem: 1. Cut small pieces of duct tape — about 10-12 cm. You may need a longer piece of tape for larger stems. 2. Next, hold a pencil parallel to the broken stem, lining the center of the pencil to the break. The pencil will act as a brace. 3. Then, wrap the tape around the stem and pencil. Ensure the tape is right enough so the branch does not sag but don’t make it too tight as that may damage the stem’s delicate tissues. 4. Leave the tape on for 2 to 4 weeks and keep checking the stem daily. 5. Once the plant has healed completely, gently take off the tape without damaging the stem.

If the leaves do not fall off, it means that there is still sap flowing through the branches and you do not need to worry, they will recover and become stronger at this point where they broke. When they bend, the best thing is not to touch them too much because this can kill the rest of the branch, and if necessary, or if the branches break completely, you can gently and without twisting apply some tape like duct tape to keep the branches together at the same point where they broke. This will help them heal faster and prevent infections. You can also apply some honey or aloe vera gel on the wound to act as a natural antiseptic. I hope your plants get well soon and keep growing beautifully 🍀.

Hard to see, but could be worst (that's why I stopped torture-training long time ago). You can make braces or supports to hold the branch in position and in one week or so it should be okay. By the way, your Air-Pot is mounted inside-out (to holes must be on the outside for air pruning to work).
