Default Need help with a loose nose assembly on a 2013 Z06

I know I知 being a bit ocd and I知 hoping there痴 an easy fix to this. The nose assembly is raised from the surrounding car body beside the headlight and the car hood. I can push it down easily but it seems to be loose. Is there a clip or connector that may be loose? Any ideas?

It's a pretty common problem.

There are two different clips on each side right under where it's popping up. The good news is that you don't need to take the entire bumper off to get at them, but rather just remove the small 7mm screws at the rear of the bumper where it meets the front of the hood. Doing that will allow you to pull it up high enough to replace the clips.

Are these clips a dealer item or is there another source? What are they called?
