DIYer here. I noticed that (only) one of the truss plates popped off where the rafters meet at the peak of the roof. Thus, a single set of rafters and the supporting beam are misligned and no longer connected.
– whats the probable reason this happened?
– If this is the only instance of the issue, is the solution simple enough? (remove old plate, re-align, hammer in new plates on both sides?

It looks like somebody nailed a board on the other side. If that's the case, it might not be worth worrying about as long as it's done right. I would think 2 or 3 2-2.5" nails in each component would be sufficient.
