Looks like a job for a standard filter strap / clamp, which way we're you turning, they're tight, but compress a rubber seal, so shouldn't be immovable , 25Nm if memory serves, it says on the filter housing Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Looking at the picture of the broken cap it looks like you may have overtightened it rather than unscrewed it? New filter cap required after removing the broken one with filter strap/chain. Easy fix just lube rubber seal with oil so new one goes on easy ....................................................................................................

It'll be tight getting a filter chain / strap in there. It's fubered now so I'd just grip it with anything going, just don't break it so small shards of plastic go missing.

i was turning to get it loose
it is very tight indeed... a normal filter strap doesn't fit in
and it does break into peaces when i try to grip it with anything else

order a replacement.
drill two holes in the side at the top to put a long screwdriver through to try and turn it.
Otherwise you will just have to break it into pieces until its gone
You will have to sit on the slam panel or airbox to get at it

I think I'd be getting some builders banding and putting a few self tappers through the holes
You could make a couple of 'arms' and use them to turn.
