Front bumper clip question

I did something stupid yesterday (well, ok, I probably do something stupid almost every day)... but this hurt my Av! I was backing out of a parking space and when I cut the wheel, I managed to clip a post that was next to the parking spot. Fortunately there is no paint damage, I just scraped the front bumper cover in front of the wheel a bit.

I've already done the nylon brush and fine steel wool treatment and it looks pretty good. There is a retaining clip though that is now unattached and I'm not sure how to get it back where it is supposed to be.

The clip that is at the top of the bumper cover closest to the front wheel opening seems to have disengaged. It does not seem to be broken. From what I can see, the cover slides from front to back into this clip and it holds it firmly against the fender. When I backed out, it must have pulled the bumper cover toward the front of the car and it popped out of the retainer.

I've searched around and have not found what I need... please help!

Can anyone give me some guidance as to how to get it back together? Do I need to do some dissambly first (I've never done this)?

Thanks so much!
 
AHA, I played around with it a bit and I think I have figured it out. Of course, I broke the clip in the process. The dealer has to order it for me... I guess I will finish my "repair" in a couple of days.
