Rear bumper popping out

Hey guys, so today I noticed that my bumper panel was popping out near the the driver side rear taillight. Not sure what may have caused it but I assume it should be an easy fix. Just wondering if it could be a broken clip or fastener of some sort before I pull out the rear bumper and check what's going on. Please check the attached images

I have a 09 coupe...mine is doing the exact same. im no where near a body guy and to avoid the headache id rather just take it to the body shop. unless someone else has some ideas that may prompt me to check it out myself.

I had the same thing awhile back.. I removed the tail light inspected everything nothing was broken so i just made it the best i could.. I improved it some so it doesn't bother me too much anymore. If saw it popping out again i would just give it quick push and it would be ok for awhile haha.

Mines does the same thing. I tried pushing it back in but it still does it. Not sure why it does this.

Sub optimal build quality. The fit and finish leaves some things to be desired. The long and short of it is that is just he way they send them out.
