The white "internal" cable is regularly used outside as its suitable for it

I'd be wanting a completely new bracket to be made up.
Of course to deal with the bracket the cable needs to be moved, which no doubt means the installer returning to the property and some internal making good too.

any fixing/repair work, including a different external exit for the cable, wouldn't necessarily require any change internally, the same hole can be drilled again at a different angle, to the left/right of the bracket.
