Or just send customer service an email wanting to buy another clip. Odds are they will send you one free of charge.

SOG and ZT both sent me one free of charge.

This will allow you to "overbend" it, and should work.

Had to do that to my Buck Vantage. Worked fine.

Take clip off.
Throw it away.
Put knife in pocket.
Profit.

This. If you don't take it off, the bend will never be right or hold the knife snug.

Ive caught that clip on lots of stuff....never found a way to fix it right without removal

Put the clip on edge of counter top at 45* 1/4 from the bend and press bend it back alil at a time until the clip is as tight as yiu want
. It will bend it right back.
I routinly snag mine of random shit and bent mu clip back with this method.

Remove thumb bend it back then re-install it again.

You can't. You have to over bend it to get it to return where you want it. When bending metal there is always spring back unless it is dead soft. And that my friend isn't dead soft.
take it off and pad it with a cloth and squeeze with a pair of pliers.

I work. Hand tools. Pipe. Dirty, staining things.

Sometimes I use sand paper or a razor to smooth rough spots. I've never liked gloves.

Thanks for the name calling. I guess an adult is needed to fix your knife. Maybe they can get the tools necessary for the repair.
