License plate installation help, lol

How does one screw up putting plates on a car? Have the little metal thingy fall off, into the bumper and I believe is resting on top of the actual bumper, likely nestled between that and the bumper cover.

I know it will likely fall off, but it's going to bug me. Anyone have a suggestion for getting it back and reinstalling it? Or should I just knock the other one out of place and use plastic replacements and move on with my life?
