Zip439 shows one fix, maybe he can report on its success.
I think it needs new brackets welded to a doubler plate inside the car, anything else is just a fix and no better than the OEM design. It looks like some failures ripped the bracket away with a piece of the floor attached to it.
I've been running around now with the H&R sway bar for a little over a year on the reinforcements I made to the rear sway bar brackets. Both sides are doing well. I like the method I used with the nutserts and panel adhesive best. The metal to which the brackets are welded is very thin. It sets under the fuel tank. So doing new welding there is difficult.
