Default Right dashboard panel leather loose C7 2016

Greetings,

I don't know how, but there seems to be some moisture that creeped into the leather on the right side of the dashboard between the dash and right door which resulted in the leather shrinking and coming loose from the platic underneath.
Is there an "easy" way of either getting the panel removed or panels around so that I can apply new adhesive to the leather?
Thanks

3 LT? Delamination of Dash is common on the 3 LTs I am told very difficult to repair

That is totally different than the 3LT dash de-laminating problem. My guess is like you said a water leak problem that will cause this issue on any car.

Water leak issue. Happens to my car from time to time (makes it very hard to track down). It leaks down the inner pillar trim and gets on that piece of leather and stays trapped by the door. I try to check it after every rain and dry it if needed but mine is already damaged.

Try taking the car to a quality uipholstery shop and see if they have some recommendations on repairs to that area. Of course, you will need to find the source of the water leak first.
