Default Drivers Side False Air Inlet Problem..Maybe?

Not sure what the little false inlet thing is in front of the door, but on the drivers side, the black plastic inside the inlet is loose. I pulled the wheel and inner fender access panel a while ago to install a wideband sensor and I knew it was loose when I put it back together but saw no way to fasten it back to the car. Is anyone elses loose. Not a big deal but it is bugging me. I will eventually pull the wheel and access panel back off and somehow tape it or glue it or something. I have screens I will install at the same time. I just can't figure out how it was originally fastened in there. The passenger side isn't loose or flap like the drivers side. Thanks.

Well, kinda makes me think it was like that before I messed with it which makes me feel a little better. Any others like this. Thanks for the reply.

Well, when I installed my side screens, I used an extra piece of double side tape and it is no longer lose. So, that is the answer to my own question.
