The pickup sensor fell off the metal piece. It has also come to my attention that the guy my sister recommended to work on it had said the pickup kept falling off and he had rigged it back on.
I have never looked at the pickup before. Does it normaly have industrial glue holding it on the metal piece?

The guy your sister recommended is an idiot and there is no way that the pickup somehow 'magically disassassembled' itself. Most likely he broke it while doing a valve check as there's no other reason to remove that cover.
I'm looking at my spare pickup as I type, and the steel bracket is potted (with black epoxy) into the shell. The steel is also part of the magnetic circuit that generates the ignition pulse, so if that's separated from the coil the sensor is junk.
