What exactly happened? Pictures would help explain too. Do you use a kickstand?
If it was me, I would cut away as much of the kickstand plate as I could with a hacksaw, Drexel, etc, and then grind/ file the remnants until there was nothing left. Hit it with some primer and touch up paint and get back to riding. The chain stay bridge is not strictly necessary. You can still use a kickstand by installing it the normal way, with the two plates and that big bolt. If you decide to get a full repaint at some point, you can decide to either get a new bridge, or kickstand plate, or leave it alone.
