Hello there. Not to worry, I think we can help. This is a tilt window. The window sash can tilt inward from the bottom corners, the corners connect to those plastic blocks in both window jambs. Those are called pivot shoes. Yours are the 15-111. It looks your window also uses 'pivot bar retainers', which help connect the 15-111 to those metal pins in the bottom corners of the sash, called pivot bars. See the 15-149. If your pivot bars are damaged, please remove one so we can have a closer look.
