Congratulations, you have successfully broken your brake lever. In all seriousness though, this is an essential safety part of your bike. It’s damaged and I would strongly advise against keeping it like this.
You need to start again and do it properly. That’s not going to hold. You need a new olive and Barb and flange. You can buy a kit for like $10
