I made this and it fell apart

I made this last night- my Husband and I really liked it. The texture is great. I added a tomato based topping sort of like my Grandma would put on the meatloaf. I pureed a can of tomatos and added brown sugar, caynne pepper, liquid smoke, salt, and vegan worchestershire sauce. I just spread this over the top when I put it in the oven.
