Default Need help with tips on installing front grill insert

Well it was bound to happen but my c7 was hit by debris (palm tree leaves) falling off a pick up on a small highway and once i got home i noticed that it broke off one of the inserts on the grill. It was the second one from the top left and its completely detached except for the part the slides in the bottom.

How hard are these to install? I already went ahead and ordered the part from a dealer which was kind of stupid on my part and he kept trying to convince me that I had to also pay to paint it since my car was white and thats what the system was telling him. I passed and will have the part next week and was looking for tips to install it since I don't want to have a gap in the front
