License Plate Nut/Bracket Problem

So I got home and I noticed my license plate was bent up bad. The left side screw and bracket some how got pulled out of the screw hole. Unfortunately, the piece to screw these back to inside the bumper is missing. The right side seems fine. Anyway I can get in there and put it back or do I need to go to the dealership?

Go buy some license plate screws at ace hardware for about a $1 and use those.

edit: wait is this front or back ?

Problem is, I've got nothing to screw the left screw into. It's the back. I don't have a front license plate.

Talked to the dealer, said it might take a couple hours, might need to take the bumper off?

yes, im sorry my first post was confusing... you can buy little peices that screws screw into they are like $1 and do not require taking the bumper off for.

Just out of curiousity, do you use these for both brackets?

Haha, yea that'd worry me a bit if you had both with one of these plastic things... sounds like a recipe for a missing license plate

Appreciate your advice though.
