Exclamation Please help driver side panel (replaced window motor)

Hi,

(I have a 1998 z28)
I just got my window motor replaced by our local mechanic and the panel where the buttons are (door lock, window controls etc.) is not attached. How is this panel suppose to be held in? I think maybe a plastic piece might have feel off and thats why I cant figure out how to hold the panel in. Right now I have some compound and a clamp holding it in place to see if that will work. Any suggestions on what else I can try? Thank you

It's held in place by a spring clip on each side, slips into the "ears" on the panel. Maybe they lost them or broke the slots they slide into? Hang on and I'll post a pic link.

there are screws that should hold it in place.

No screws on mine. Broke one of the ears the clip slides into on mine first time I did a window motor swap and panel wouldn't hold. Super glued it back on and has been holding fine.
