If the heat sink doesn't do a good enough job of holding the transistor in place, you could look at using an epoxy such as JB Weld:

to fill in the burnt out area. You'd need to put something underneath the board to hold the epoxy in place as it sets - I've found that most clear plastics from product packaging works well for this - just tape it in place.

Then drill some new holes for the transistor and jumper the legs to the relevant tracks as suggested by Steevsee.
