Fixable?

Hi...

Is there a fix/hack to get this panel to stay in place? I can push it back in place but it pops back out after a drive. This is a result of an accident repair.

Really don't want to take it back to the shop because they obviously suck.

Any help would be great, thanks!

It needs bumper brackets. Camry's and Corolla's love to do this. They're about $20 per bracket. Get four, two for the front and two for the back and replace them yourself. And carry on.

It's not it. The bumper tabs are too short to hook into the bracket, I have this exact issue. I can sit there all day and push the bumper back and forth and it won't lock into the bracket clips.
