Apply preset keyframe animations to a specific element?

So recently I had a problem with corrupted files with one of my projects. Using some of the various ways to recover the file, I was able to get the project back with the keyframe animations, but without the elements in those animations.

I do have some of the assets that were originally part of those tween animations but don't know if how to reapply them to those respective elements (if it is possible at all). Can someone help me out?

You can click on the layer that holds the animation of the missing symbol, then in Properties click on the Swap symbol button, choose the good symbol from the library list, and all of the keyframes for the animation will now use the symbol you chose.

Depending on which version of Animate you're using, you may need to click the Object tab in Properties, before you see the right arrow on top of left arrow icon for the swap symbol button.

Sorry, I'm having trouble finding where the "Swap Element" option is. Here is a screenshot of the screen. Can you please help me out?

It's Swap Symbol you're looking for. In your screen shot you're editing the properties of a single frame. Try clicking in the layer name area, where it says prop, that should highlight all of the frames of that layer, not just the first keyframe. When they are all highlighted look again for a Swap button. In your version of Animate it may actually be labelled as Swap.
