HELP! Daughter's car rear panel below tail light

My daughter is just here for weekend and asked me to help with small problem. But I know nothing about these cars.

She had a small accident a while ago that broke the driver side tailight. She had a mechanic replace the light, but the panel below is now not locked into place. Quite possible some clip may be broken?

Any advice on how to remove that piece and see what is wrong?

ADDED: I had a closer look. It looks like there are clips that hold that piece in under the taillight. Lowere ones are there, but upper ones are not. Must have been broken off in accident. So waht has to be done - replace the whole bumper cover? Or do shops have a way of repairing the clip area?

You must know that this thing is very common on B class... Simply, bumper have poor designed catch clips (mostly on left side) which easily can be wear off and only solution is retrofitting new clips or new bumper.
Every time when you return bumper in position you slightly wear off clips until they loose itself for ever...
I have same problem (but not very big hole) as I removed and painted bumper two times so far because damage...
