Default Front clip torn off - how to repair

HI guys,

So I went to a diner for breakfast, and you wouldn't believe that this little 1"/25mm piece of rebar could wreak such havoc.



So I parked with my nose just over the concrete strip (no sound was heard. But when I went top pull out:




I went back into the diner to calm down, thinking I had to organize a tow, but thankfully upon a calmer review, I was able to get it back together with some tape, and drive it home.



Upon closer inspection I see that the screw connector has been stripped/ripped from the connecting panels, so I know I need to get a proper fix done.



Can these white screw connector be reattached to the original plastic panels?, or do I need to get new inner plastic support panels that connect to the front clip?

Thanks in advance for any advice. It's a bit embarrassing driving with a taped up car.

Some here may know that "STREWTH" is an Australian/English word of exclamation meaning WOW!, or literally "By Gods Truth!"

Anyone know where I can see an exploded diagram of the front end of an XF?

I'm looking to see what the panel names are for for panels I need to replace, as the existing panels have damaged bolt retention slots (where the white bolt sleeve attaches to the panels).

I learned that phrase by Playing "Dead Island" on Xbox 10-ish years ago. One character would yell it fairly frequently while "murking" zombies.
