It is a combined socket and inverter in 1 unit.
You will have to remove the lower B pillar trim.

You say it is "broken" is it broken or pushed in If just pushed in it can be fixed without removing lower trim

it is pushed

Mine did this. some years ago now. How I fixed it

1. Removed cover by cutting off. -- Stanley type blade under the corners of the cover to cut lugs off.
2. Hook out inverter plug.
3. Push inverter back into the holder.
4. Use a cable tie to hold inverter in the holder.
5. Replace cover using self-tapping screws in each corner.

It is a bit fiddly getting out the pushed in inverter but mine has remained in place now for about 3 years.
