So, was cruisin today, and I felt i was getting no boost. I stopped and checked it out, and nothing looked like it would be affecting it. I looked closer, and i noticed my waste gate arm was off the nob. I tried to clip it back on, and its just out of reach. Im not to familiar with this, but i know the arm is supposed to move back and forth releasing air to gain boost. The arm wont pull out any further.

Anyone have any idea what to do?

You just have to pull harder. It's a stiff spring pulling against it and you might get a pair of vice grips on it and pull it over. I had this happen to me once and managed to pull it over by hand, but that was on an old 14b.
