Might still be inside the handlebar.
They will be they've no way of escaping, they should be on the other side of the collar he tapped back into the bar.
Best guess is the nut has gone walk about if he can't get it to engage the threaded bar on the indicator.
So the connector on the end of the indicator wiring has to be able to fit through the nut wand washer & I'm assuming the hole in the bars that it passes out of is too small to get anything in from that end, so you can't drag the nut etc. out with something attached to the indicator connector.

Connect a line to the indicator connector, pull it through then tip out whatever's left using gravity?

Nearest dealership is an ex Harley place that by their own admission don’t know about Indians

Nearest all bike dealership is 15 miles away. Might as well be on the moon given work commitments for the next few weeks

There's nothing 'Indian' about it mate, it's just a nut and bolt system, any mechanic could sort this in 2 minutes.
