Odds are that with a bit of analysis the OP can solve this fork related problem. But he'll still have to source the correct (brand specific) stop cam for his brake. Hopefully the maker will come through for him, otherwise he now owns an expensive pair of paperweights.
The press fit pin is on the brake's spring assembly. You can't just put it back in, it's a press fit. OP-do you really want to be riding around with a carbon fork that has a messed up brake boss? A replacement fork shouldn't be too much, especially if you would consider steel.
