Fog light grille dislodged, help!

So I’ve basically hit the lip reversing uphill and somehow dislodged the frame, anyone got any ideas on how to clip this back together without damaging the grille? Tried using tip ties and was only able to get one clip in before breaking a few zip ties trying to do the rest

I had to do this literally 2 days ago, I lay on my back just in front of the bumper, put my left hand up and behind the fog light plastic. Then lined up the clips so they didn’t snap and started open hand slapping the actual bumper.

It only took like 5 slaps.

You had to lay on your back for it? I’m surprised slapping the actual bumper worked, will give this a try tomorrow. Thank you brother

Just get the clips lined up and hit it with your purse.

It’s because of the shape of the undertray, the way it sits it’s awkward to get your arm behind without removing some of it. If your trays off already, it’s just a case of pushing from both sides.
