Are you sure you have the right wheel locks? I think you have the wrong ones, that's why it broke and the other one is missing.

Not find a socket that fits over the broken wheel lock and bang it in carefully with a small steel sledge hammer. Be careful not to scratch the insides of the wheels while removing the broken lock, another of is to have it removed at a tire shop.
