you need some hot melt glue which you can get in most tackle shops.
you need to make sure there is no glue residue left on the tip of the rod.
cut a little bit off the stick of glue and put these pieces into the open hole of the tip ring.
heat with a lighter until the glue turns runny.
push the ring onto the end of the rod and quickly allign the rings before the glue sets.

hope this helps buddy

You could bring it to your local tackle shop and they will fix it for you cost about E3 or E4.

You should probably spend a few euro more on a sturdier rod tip, the ones on the longbeam aren't great
