Hi all, anyone knows what removing and re-attaching the rear bumper involves?

Ford had done my rear bumper but seems there is a missing clip or something because of a bit on the left side that isn't well attached. I would love to give a shot at arranging it myself but I dont have any clue where to start.

just give it a good smack in the direction you think the clip should be and it will probably go back in.

Looks like it just needs clipping in properly, can you get underneath at all to have a look?

The bumper is only plastic though isnt it? Surely plastic will only bend and not dent?
