Will have to take it to a body shop to repair the clear coat, don't understand what lens you are talking about. The reverse light lens, taillight lens, or license plate light lens?

The four screws you see above the license plate are the mounting screws for the license plate lights, one on each side.

There is nothing missing, turn on your running lights when it's dark and you will see the license plate lights.

Ok? One would think that those openings above the license plate should be covered .
