You should be able to get some of the fasteners from the dealer. If you didn't hit anything, get them replaced under warranty.

It'll probably be a lot easier to remove the flare completely and then reinstall than to try and get a few tabs back on.

If you can't get them warranteed, you can find them on JeepSwag for a whole lot less than buying from the dealer.
