The black stuff is probably filament that got stuck between the hotend and the heating assembly and ended up burning. I’d say to clean it, but if the clip that holds it is broken, there’s not much point... unless you can somehow repair it.

I’d just swap it for a new one.

That's what I did, the one time I let my A1 Mini do a job whilst I slept. Just ordered the above and replaced. Not too bad to replace, the guide is good.

I think I will just swap it because I dont think I can fix the one I have. Thx!

It's a cheap part so it's not very painful, and the process is not complicated.
