Default Seat Belt Warning Button: Retainer?

The seat-belt warning button on my dash popped out on me. I have the spring and the button, and I gather that there is a retainer that keeps it in the dash.

Has anyone faced this problem, and found a retainer that would, well, retain the button in the dash?

I believe this clip is what you need. Might be able to find one at a hardware store.

I've seen them threaded and a nut put on them.

Tried installing new button but when removed the gauges area still could not get to the button area without removing the gauges bezel cover. How do I remove the gauges cover as no screws, etc on the back that I see or feel.
Thnx for any suggestions

Hi cv,
Welcome!
First Post!
I'm not sure from your question just how far the center cluster is disassembled?
Maybe this drawing will help you describe where you are.
Regards,
Alan
