Is it really broken? From the pic looks like it can be inserted back in the grove and have the tuning axis tightened with some pliers. that hole in the peg seems like it would fit in some kind of tag in the grove to prevent it from slipping out. Can you post more pics of the back of the headstock? It'll be easier to link you to a link on e-bay if we know what type of tunning peg you have there.
Here’s some other photos and tbf I can still put the peg in but it’s loose and vibrates a lot when playing, that’s why I was checking what I should do

Definitely ask Squier first - it only costs an email!
wanted ad has to be second - someone has got to have upgraded some of these in the past, and has a full set of 4 lying around doing nothing.
other options.... There's one on ebay for £5.99, plus £2 postage, or a full used set of them for £16 (or best offer).
Not sure what they're made of, probably a cheap steel, but the zinc plating makes it hard to weld it back on, so I would try something like silver soldering it, if you can find someone with the knowledge and kit (if you could let us know whereabouts you live, local folks might offer to help!)
I couldn’t find many options that fit my bass on eBay but I’ll have another look. And I live in Liverpool if anyone knows anybody that could help.

Have you tried contacting Squier? Customer services may be happy to send put a part which costs them very little to preserve their reputation.
I had a problem with a Colgate Electric toothbrush - they sent me a new toothbrush and £30 in vouchers. I'm happy to tell people - so are they.
I will try that now, it’s worth a shot isn’t it

The other day the tuning peg for my squier vm jazz bass broke off and i've been trying to find how i should resolve this issue. Should i try to fix the broken peg or just get a new set of machines. If i should replace them then what should i replace them with (considering i'm in high school and have very little money)
